Catching up with Kevin Kling

December is a busy month for Minneapolis humorist Kevin Kling. He just released a new CD of his National Public Radio commentaries, Wonderlure. A few weeks from now he'll reprise his role of Joseph in what's now become an annual holiday pageant at the Southern Theater. On Monday, Kling returns to the Guthrie Theater to spin more wacky childhood yarns in "Tales From the Charred Underbelly of the Yulelog." Kling talked with MPR All Things Considered host Lorna Benson about his somewhat jaded view of the holiday season.
