When Diane and I donated some money to our local National Public Radio station, we were offered a choice of gifts. Usually we just decline, but this time they were offering two tickets to the simulcast of Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me. Diane listens to Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me every week so this was a must-go-to event. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the program, a panel of rotating guests are asked questions about the week’s events. There’s plenty of humor and satire. Playwright and actor Peter Sagal is the current genial host. Tonight’s simulcast will come from the NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, New York, N.Y. Fun, fun, fun!
Sounds like a lot of fun. Enjoy!
Jeff, Diane and I attended a simulcast of A PRAIRE HOME COMPANION a couple years ago. We enjoyed it along with about 50 other people.
Judy and I like this show, too. Have fun!
Bill, Diane’s been looking forward to this WAIT, WAIT, DON’T TELL ME simulcast for weeks!
It may not be carried on the one PBS station I get, which seems to have “Talk of the Nation” and such stuff on when I listen in the car. Maybe it’s just timing, as we don’t listen to radio in house or evenings.
Anyway, have fun!
Around here, WAIT, WAIT, DON’T TELL ME is broadcast on the weekends, Rick. And, of course, you can always listen to it on NPR.org.
That is one of my favorite NPR shows, and the host is a column writer for Runner’s World and I always enjoy his articles.
Peter Sagal is hosting a PBS series on the Constitution, Carl. My wife can’t wait to see it. Sagal has a great radio voice!
That would be great to see. He really does have a fantastic radio voice.
Carl, our PBS station is broadcasting Peter Sagal’s series on Tueday nights.
Sagal was and is the founding host of WAIT, WAIT…and *CONSTITUTION USA with Peter Sagal* is a Tuesday night feed on PBS generally, so most (if not all) of the major PBS stations around the county will be running it at 9pm Tuesdays ET/PT (8p CT…and probably 8pm Mountain, Alaska and Hawaii time! 9p Wednesdays on Guam, on the other side of the Dateline). http://www.pbs.org/tpt/constitution-usa-peter-sagal/home/
My wife will be watching CONSTITUTION USA mostly because of Peter Sagal, Todd. She’s a big fan.
