The NRA Tried to Shut Him Down. What Happened Next Made Him a Millionaire – Tim Schmidt #169 Tim Schmidt is the founder of USCCA — a company with nearly 1 million members and over 700 employees, dedicated to firearms education, self-defense, and Second Amendment rights. But Tim didn't start at the top. In this raw and riveting episode of On The Homefront, Jeff Dudan uncovers Tim's journey from getting fired for outperforming his boss, to working 12-hour overnight shifts, to launching a failing magazine that transformed into a self-defense empire. You'll hear how Tim fought off a hostile takeover by the NRA, built a national instructor network, and turned personal protection into a mission-driven movement. If you've ever doubted yourself, been underestimated, or needed a reason to keep going — this one's for you.

Alan takes a trip down memory lane, revisiting "The Scallion," a satirical dental news project he and colleagues created (inspired by The Onion) back in the Dental Hacks era (circa 2017-2018). In this episode, Alan reads several archived "Scallion" articles, finding they still hold up with humor poking fun at: Aggressive sales reps at dental meetings. Dentists avoiding shop talk at parties. Exaggerated links between periodontal disease and other health issues. Hilariously inaccurate dental stock photography. The shocking revelations that can come with using dental loupes for the first time. Over-the-top (and potentially condescending) marketing advice. The classic "I hate dentists" patient comment. Stubborn dentists arguing online. We don't laugh at the profession enough. This should help! Some links from the show: Dentist Seeks PTSD Treatment After Star of the North Exhibit Floor Incident 4 Out of 5 Dentists Lie at Parties Periodontal Disease Linked to Hyperbole Adobe Stock Vows to Increase Accuracy in Dental Stock Photography Dentist Discovers That She's Horrible After Purchasing Loupes Marketer Thinks Denists Are Stupid.

If you haven't heard of The Onion, a satirical news publication, you've no doubt come across the many memes and parodies inspired by its style. The Onion began with a group of scrappy Gen-Xer's who wanted to poke fun at mainstream news. It's evolved into an at times biting, oftentimes comic, cultural critic. What role does humor play in making the world make sense? Author Christine Wenc, a member of The Onion's original staff, joins Dana Taylor on the Excerpt to discuss her new book “Funny Because It's True,” which is on bookshelves now.

Last year, after pressure from activist investors, Jeff Lawson stepped down from his perch as CEO from Twilio, the cloud communications company he co-founded. But he didn't spend any time twiddling his thumbs — that same spring, he bought the satirical news organization The Onion, and by the end of the year, they'd tried to buy Alex Jones' Infowars at a bankruptcy auction.  Jeff also stayed busy on the political front, continuing his work on DemocracyFirst, a political action committee he co-founded, in 2022, to support candidates committed to democracy.  So there was plenty to chew on when Kara interviewed Jeff last week at Democracy's Information Dilemma, a symposium hosted by the University of Michigan's Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. They discuss the tech founder mindset; how Jeff is remaking The Onion; why political satire is more necessary than ever; why DEI — which Jeff championed as a CEO — can sometimes do more harm than good; and how to fight for democracy during Trump 2.0.

The satirical news magazine The Onion has been putting out ironic and often absurd headlines for more than 40 years. Christine Wenc was part of the paper's original staff, dating back to its origins as an alt weekly in Madison, Wisconsin. Now, Wenc has written a book Funny Because It's True: How the Onion Created Modern News Satire that traces the history of the magazine's influence. In today's episode, she joins NPR's Scott Detrow for a conversation about the cheap living conditions that allowed the original The Onion staff to experiment, how the paper responded to 9/11, and why she believes The Onion is "good fake news."To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
