I'm not interviewing comedians as much lately, but I am writing on a weekly basis for an alternative student voice of which I am also the managing editor. Check out some of my recent work:
I reflect on my summer i.e. make jokes:

I go undercover with the LaRouche Movement. Spoiler: they're nuts!

In this installment of stuff I write, I finally go to one of the many journalistic events I get invites to based solely on the assumption that it will be bad...so bad it's good!
You're doing really well sir. Hope your honing and still enjoying your craft.
I'd like to see you non interview writing or better yet some audio of your interviews if there are any. People doing stuff warms my heart.
Support "comedians" Stephen Colbert, Pete Dominick, Marc Maron and Glenn Beck. Find these talkers and more at PunditFight.blogspot.com (Comedy)
Still honing, still enjoying; thanks! The links I posted are non-interviewy. Fiction I produce is like some of these pieces, except with "made up" stuff.
This week's installment of the Johnsonville Press, the outlet that the articles I've been sharing, is up. I started a feature called Inside JVP in which I interview my fellow contributers. I kicked things off with an autobiographical essay so that people could get to know me better. It's about my relationship with comedy, my tenure as one of America's premiere comedian interviewers, and my struggle with and eventual triumph over low self-esteem.

Don't worry: I'll be back to writing about systemic disenfranchisement and economic inequality soon.
Last week's article, BTW, was about so called Overdraft Protection i.e. how banks can legally screw you: http://johnsonvillepress.com/2010/09...at-local-bank/
My article this week is "Voting is Less Than the Least That You Can Do"

My latest JVP article is a reflection on being a philosophy major. Tell me if you can tell what I changed from a Hitler joke into another joke.

Also, big announcement coming soon!
