Onion News Network

Images of destruction and devastation are pouring in as 213 people have been killed in the small town of Q- Quinneboogie?

Joshua Johnson playing newsman Dwight Richmond on The Onion News Network, ONN, in a skit called 213 Killed in [How Do You Pronounce That?] Joshua's most recent reinvention comes in the form of a viral TED Talk.

He was the speaker and an expert on overcoming conflict, the creator of an online conflict resolution game as well called The Resolution.

Joshua Johnson joins us now to talk about his journey.

We're gonna, uh, move things around a little bit here based on, uh, what, what I had perhaps, uh, ahead of me in the roadmap.

But let's roll with the conflict resolution, the better conversations.

We're gonna talk about your time, uh, at the ONN, The Onion News Network, here in a bit, and your, uh, on-air persona of Dwight Richmond.

But, uh, these conversations that you're alluding to, um, what are the obvious, most obvious ways for someone like me, and there are plenty of people like me in the public radio space, to, to, to, to improve upon conversations which, uh, to say the quiet part out loud, have become really difficult in certain spaces this cro- th- this past decade?
