The laughs are aplenty in this episode, which highlights the recent book by Robin L. Murray and Joseph K. Heumann, Film, Environment, Comedy: Eco-comedies on the Big Screen. Both Robin and Joseph are both Professor Emeritus at Eastern Illinois University, in English and in Communications, respectively. In between the ha-has, we discuss what makes a comedy an eco-comedy, why laughter is important, and how comedy and activism might connect.
