In this episode of Beyond the Page, Pulitzer Prize-winning humor writer Dave Barry, one of the funniest people alive, talks a little about his latest novel “Swamp Story,” using it mainly as a springboard to talk about his crazy home state of Florida, and from there, about some of the problems facing our nation in general, and what he would do to fix them if by chance he ever gets the authority to do so – which, Dave says, we should all pray he never does. And finally, Dave assures us that the one promise he can make is that nobody will come away from this talk with any useful information whatsoever.

Here’s Dave Barry, closing the 2023 Sun Valley Writers’ Conference.
