While on the road in 2017, Randy and Jason Sklar challenged themselves to see whether they could write 5 to 7 minutes of stand-up material specific to each community they visited. And these had to be jokes that locals would find funny—not just surface level observations. To complete the challenge, the Sklar brothers explored the cultures and people in each of the cities they visited, and got a real sense of what different parts of the country were going through. The brothers brought Audible and producer Scott Rogowsky along the way and are releasing their adventures as a 6-hour long audio documentary titled Sklars And Stripes. We spoke with Randy and Jason about the new project and its creation.
