What's so Funny?
This week, on Radio Lab, the diversity of New York City collides with the New York City sense of humor. Something has got to give. Or not.
Laugh Tracks
The bedrock to a good sense of humor is the ability to laugh at oneself. Next
step, for the aspiring comedian: laugh at one's own culture. In this two part
series, past and present-day purveyors of ethnic humor trade stories of turning
mysery into comedy.
Producer: Helen Borten
Mix Engineer: Marilyn Reese
