Interview with Baratunde Thurston

From Public Radio International's Bullseye with Jesse Thorn:

Baratunde Thurston is an author, comedian and the Digital Director for The Onion. His latest book, How To Be Black, is both a memoir and a manual for black living in modern America. Baratunde joins Jesse to discuss playing the role of the "Office Black Guy" (and the comedic opportunities to abuse its power), the experience of being one of the only black students at Washington, DC's Sidwell Friends Private School, and how he transitioned from writing comedy at Harvard to working for The Onion.

You can follow him on Twitter @Baratunde. How To Be Black is available in bookstores everywhere.
