Scott Dikkers is the former editor-in-chief of The Onion, the site
that brought news satire to the internet. Before the episode, I
went up to Scott and said, “I have one goal for this: I want to
start writing funny. You know how to do it. Can you teach me
everything you've learned?" He’s been doing this for decades, so he
was able to take me by the hand and show me what he learned, very
concretely. You're obviously not going to framework your way to
becoming the next George Carlin, but there are universal principles
of comedy that work in any kind of writing, whether it's for a
group chat or when you are talking with friends on a Saturday night
at the bar. And Scott is about to teach us how to do it. About the
host Hey! I’m David Perell and I’m a writer, teacher, and
podcaster. I believe writing online is one of the biggest
opportunities in the world today. For the first time in human
history, everybody can freely share their ideas with a global
audience. I seek to help as many people publish their writing
online as possible. Follow me Apple:
