Episode description
Humor researcher Barbara Plester joins us to talk about the four types of humor, why jokes sometimes offend, how managers can embrace humor and reduce its risk, and an effective response to an offensive comment. We also go deep on why some people think a fake used condom, a poster about punching a woman, and a Catholic-eating alligator are funny–and others don't. An insightful and practical episode.
