Adventures of a Funny Southern Woman

Celia Rivenbark, one of our favorite humor columnists, is out with a new collection of essays, "You Don't Sweat Much for a Fat Girl" (St. Martin's Griffin, 2011). In it, she riffs on yoga, Twitter, sleeping hip-hop stars, cinema and, of course, Aunt Verlie.

  • Host Frank Stasio talks with Rivenbark about her glamorous life and hears her pitch for moving Garrison Keillor's Lake Wobegon to the South.
