Gorilla Christopher initially thought about opening Photoshop and adding your favorite podcasters’ faces to images of celebrities known for parody and satire.

And yes, obviously — this week’s topic: Parody and Satire.
* * *
We begin by talking about the first parody or satire we remember — and then leap to the best work of satire in literature and film. After that, we discuss the funniest — and worst — works of parody we’ve come across.
Find out our preferences: parody or satire. (Or do we like each equally?) Also, we tell you where we stand on parody and comedic music in general.
If you’ve ever wondered if either of us have attempted to write satire or parody, this is your moment! And with the current climate ripe for satire, we talk about where to find it.
And, of course, we wrap it up looking toward the future, asking what parody and satire will be like in the years to come.
