Joe Randazzo, editor of one of the most successful root vegetable-themed newspapers ever to emerge from Madison, Wisconsin, sat down with Big Think this afternoon.

In an hourlong conversation, BT grilled Randazzo about his publication’s chronic inaccuracies, which according to an independent fact-check appear in nearly 100% of its stories. Also addressed was the death of one of the paper’s most popular columnists, Herbert Kornfeld, under mysterious circumstances in which the Onion staff itself is rumored to have been involved.


The interview will be posted in mid-December.
