Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
Saturdays 10 am; Sundays 12 pm

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. Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! is co-produced by NPR and Chicago Public Radio.

  • Bill Kurtis reads three news-related limericks: Nut Job, Lemon Aid, and The Buffinator.
  • The Slight of Christ, Dating Coverup, Pandemic Problems, and You're Stealing Have A Great Day!
  • Our panelists read three stories about a fun new activity in Pittsburgh, only one of which is true.
  • Now that the Supreme Court has ruled, our panelists predict the next big news from the world of cheerleading.
  • V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!, Big Spend Sports and Inoculation Day Deadline.
  • The singer, songwriter, producer and rapper won the first season of The Masked Singer, so we've invited him to play a game called "The Half-Masked Singer."
  • The Cure
  • Zuckerberg Goes for His Dork Belt; Prada Makes Beach Sports Fancy; and An Extra Special Delivery.
  • Our panelists read three stories about international crises being averted, only one of which is true.
  • Konkle, who also co-stars in PEN15, is an expert on junior high, so she'll answer three questions about junior highs — specifically, the vague sense of agitation you get from drinking Red Bull.
