My guest today is writer and director Katy Yeiser. Katy was the former video director at The Onion and was one of the creators of the acclaimed A Very Fatal Murder podcast. She then went on to direct commercials and work on the Team Coco hit audio drama Frontier Tween. We talk about Katy's early interest in comedy growing up and her short career as an education reporter during which she broke a real scandal that led to a greedy superintendent getting fired. She talks about getting a job on the Onion News Network and working her way up through The Onion, the process of creating a Very Fatal murder and what it’s been like the past few years directing and working in audio drama.
