Comedy is a vessel for the truth. Ever wondered why every great joke, every surprised laugh, feels like a realization? The art of laughing at oneself and the surrounding world, even when one might be more inclined to cry, is the art form by which movies like “Get Out” can elicit tears of laughter and sorrow, simultaneously. This is why the varied and many experiences of Black people in predominantly white societies, from driving while Black to exercising while Black, can be so tactfully spun into stories that get crowds out of their seats in an uproar, shocked by the humor inlaid in misfortune. Our own podcast team has quite a few of those stories, too, specifically about attending the University of Chicago. Join Lena in this episode as she introduces KSB’s own excursion into satirical comedy — our top 10 finalist submission to the spring 2021 NPR College Podcast Competition: “PWI-ing While Black”!
