The Funniest Guy on Slate's Slack

On today’s episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Slate senior
writer Ben Mathis-Lilley to say goodbye after eleven years at
Slate. Ben was responsible for iconic stories like “Wouldn’t It Be
Nice to Get Knocked Out Cold With a Shovel for Exactly Six Weeks
and Five Days?”, and is known as the “funniest person in Slack”
despite spending his days reporting on our terrifying political
climate. How does Ben stay sane and positive online when the
internet is engulfed with bad news? One thing’s for certain: It’s
not in his University of Michigan football Discord.  Get more
