Dave Barry wrote a humor column in the Miami Herald for more than 20 years that earned him a Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. He also writes books. His latest is called\\xa0Swamp Story.\\xa0It\\u2019s very funny with a totally ridiculous plot that takes place in the Everglades. There\'s a character who runs around pretending to be a creature called the Melon Monster and a support boar, as in wild pig, who pees on a politician during a press\\xa0conference. Barry has also played lead guitar in a band called the\\xa0Rock Bottom Remainders.\\xa0His band mates include other writers such as Stephen King and Scott Turow. A man of many talents, Barry and I share a lot of laughs in this conversation. \\u201cNow What?\\u201d is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Cameryn Yarber. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.
