Joe Raiola is a comedy writer and satirist, producer of an Annual John Lennon Tribute, and standup comic. He is probably most known for his work in Mad Magazine's editorial department, where he spent 33 years with the magazine, eventually becoming senior editor.


 
 


Joe joined Tony Mazur and the Check Your Brain podcast to reminisce over his Mad tenure, his relationship with founder Bill Gaines, the Mad trips, and the transition periods after Gaines's death in 1992 and the eventual move from New York City to California.
