Me on Radio Open Source tonight...

I was a guest on Radio Open Source with Christopher Lydon tonight, talking about the roots of Borat, and what his Sacha Baron Cohen's work means in the context of contemporary society and the history of comedy. Open Source is a great show, which is distributed to many many public radio stations around the country. Mal Sharpe was also be on the show to talk about his career as a prankster.

Click here for the MP3 stream. If you feel like waiting, I think I'll add the show to the podcast feed Thanksgiving weekend.

You very nice on show last night! You know well why americans laugh stupidly at themselves. You seem to watch a lot of tv show from europe, too--how you get reception? Someday you will have mr. lydon's job and be king of pubic radio, no?

Being introduced as a "modern practitioner of humor" has got to be a top 5 accolade. Such an odd, yet endearing, turn of phrase.
