In this very NPR-ish episode, we're talking about the science of teaching the art of comedy. First we chat with Martie Cook, the woman behind the new Comedic Arts major at Emerson College in Boston. Then we've got Chris Coccia in studio with his perspective from teaching the DC Improv's stand-up comedy class.

And don't forget, you can catch Chris featuring on shows with John Witherspoon July 9-12.
