The time has come for our hosts to move away from their basic dad jokes and into more expansive territory. In today’s episode, Neeraj and Nick discuss humour and storytelling, beginning with a performance of a short, maybe humorous, story written by Neeraj. From there, our hosts touch on Tropic Thunder and Joseph Heller’s “Catch 22” as examples of humour and storytelling. This leads Nick to explore the distinction between adding story to humour and the alternative of sprinkling humour on story.

This is our closing episode on the subject of humour, at least for the time being. It’s been a fascinating ride delving into a subject that is often taken for granted. Lessons have been learnt, co-hosts have been humbled and tears have been shed (in private, mostly by Neeraj). We hope you’ve enjoyed the season. Get in touch on discord if you have any suggestions for the next season.
