Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me

For a wacky and whip-smart approach to the week's news and newsmakers, listen no further than Wait Wait…Don't Tell Me!, the oddly informative news quiz from NPR. During each fast-paced, irreverent show, host Peter Sagal leads what might be characterized as the news Olympics. Callers, panelists, and guests compete by answering questions about the week's events, identifying impersonations, filling in the blanks at lightening speed, sniffing out fake news items, and deciphering limericks.

I like this show- I listen to the podcast- but some of the quizzes are ridiculously easy- like the limerick one.

When the White House Press Secretary, a Supreme Court Justice, the wife of the Vice President, and music icons Nanci Griffith and Linda Ronstadt will subject themselves to embarrassing interrogations by the likes of Paula Poundstone, P.J. O'Rourke, and Roy Blount, Jr., you've got something going on.
