Josh Modell (General Manager, @joshmodell) made his first foray into journalism in grade school, when he wrote a sarcastic piece skewering lunchroom food. (Sample line: "It was smooth sailing on my Taco Boat!") The subject was re-examined in a middle-school monologue (to rapturous applause), but Modell eventually turned his critical pen toward music. In late 1993, he launched Milk Magazine, a regional print publication (this is before ya'll had websites!) with an eye toward indie-rock. Milk wound to a close just as The A.V. Club came calling, and with more than a little backstabbing and water-cooler character assassination, Modell worked his way up the ladder to General Manager, a title which probably means nothing to you, but at least sort of pleases his parents.

It's usually about 3-4 weeks, sometimes a little longer, sometimes a little shorter. Never less than a week.

I was born in Dekalb, so I believe I've earned the right to wear that shirt.
