Molly and Jamie sit down with Wisconsin author Christine Wenc to discuss her smash-hit novel Funny Because It's True, detailing the rise of The Onion, an irreverent newspaper started by a group of UW Madison students that became a cornerstone of modern satire.

Christine’s reading list:

Moby Dick by Herman Melville

Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata

Debt by David Graeber

The Freaks Came Out to Write by Tricia Romano (colloquially known as ‘The Oral History of the Village Voice’ - we recommend listening instead of reading this one!)

Tales From the Odyssey by Mary Pope Osborne
