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: Stache Attack!, Hot Dogs Get A Reboot, and Performance-Enhancing Carnitas.
  • Siri, MD
  • Joe vs. Vlad: The Fever in Geneva; Take this Return to Work and Shove It; and A Whale of a Tale.
  • Our panelists predict who will be the next person to participate in the Big Quit.
  • All the news we couldn't fit anywhere else.
  • The NBA all-star won two championships with the Miami Heat, an Olympic gold medal and membership in the Basketball Hall of Fame. He's written a new book called Letters to a Young Athlete.
  • All the news we couldn't fit anywhere else.
  • Elephants on Parade; Ancient Oversleeper.
  • Prime Space Delivery, An App They Can't Refuse, and Baseball's Sticky Situation.
  • Our panelists predict who will take the third seat on Jeff Bezos' rocket to space.
