"The childlike side is still in us."

What a thrill to chat with the founding editor of the the satirical newspaper The Onion!
Scott Dikkers, who is from Minneapolis MN, shares how the many avenues of comedy got him to where he is today - a secretly shy dude with a busload of humor to teach and write about.

Check out his online classes, humor writing books and video podcast, too!

In this episode we chat about how The Onion started, his cartoons, his voice work (I even get an impression out of him!). There is also his animation and his talents shared with Saturday Night Live.

It was wonderful to discuss his drive, why deadlines are a must, the best advice he ever got and how he pranked a president - twice!
