Chicago-bred. Nationally-read. Chris Erskine is your Midwestern friend who happened to have his stories published in the L.A. Times for 25 years. 

He retired from his humor columnist and editor post in 2020 and thought he’d humor us on an episode. 

Chris shares his own story as a writer, from his love for his 4th grade teacher who sparked his interest in writing to how he wrote about the grief he experienced in 2018 to covering the Vancouver Olympics. 

Chris has a story you want to listen to. If this episode doesn’t leave you with a chuckle or two and a warm heart then unsubscribe and call us crazy.*

*This is our attempt at a joke, but maybe we’ll leave those to Chris for this episode...
