Haven’t seen The Beaverton. Thanks for turning me onto it.
If you haven’t heard the This American Life episode where they go behind the scenes at The Onion’s writer room, it’s worth checking out. A ten minute discussion over the precise wording of “Thirsty Mayor Drinks Town’s Entire Water Supply” and what makes it funny… amazing to realise how truly obsessive and technically capable they are.
