If anyone thought the Midwest was only good for incredible podcasts and championship sports teams, the joke is on them. Here in the heartland, we also claim fame as the hometown to a fresh crop of comic geniuses, much like today’s guest. Taylor Kay Phillips is the perfectly mannered, Emmy-award winning writer for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. But as a woman driven by her own insatiable vision of success, it’s no surprise that her credits roll on. With the upcoming debut of A Guide to Midwestern Conversation, she’ll add author to a list of accolades that would make any mother proud. In it, she breaks down the nuanced phraseology of flyover states, making readers smile because it’s funny…and laugh because it’s true.
