The Skewer 9: July 2016

Another month of news, another month of unassailably excellent writers and comedians making fun of the news. That's the way we do shit at the Skewer. Sarah Magnuson opens the show with a meditation on childlessness and apes, as all great shows must. Sonia Denis prescribed the sitcom cure for wokeness-related exhaustion. Will Sonheim, son of Arkedelphia, sent off the venerable Prairie Home Companion. Kyle Scanlan took us on a tour through the ghoulish history of basketball draft day suits in a VERY visually-focused bit. Cody Melcher faces off against erica dreisbach in the Skewer debate, deciding once and for all what's the best way to top Brexit: make the NRA our government, or elect the Burger King Mac and Cheeto? It's a goddamn wonderful show. I do hope you like it.
