Anyone else listen to this program? It's been around for a long time (I think they just celebrated the show's ten year anniversary).
Basically it's a news quiz, but I find it hysterical at times. You can listen via podcast or online at the NPR site. If you don't (and I'm sure there are plenty of you who don't), you should give it a try. It's a comical way of getting quick news headlines and they toss out some obscure and bizarre news questions as well. http://www.npr.org/programs/waitwait/ PS - This could have possibly been more suited for the news forum, but I think it could go either way really. (I honestly didn't look to see if anyone else had posted this, so sorry if it's a repeater) Anyway, give it a shot! =) (Or not) XD |

I have been listening to it semi-regularly since about 2002. Peter Sagal is a funny guy and it's been my goal when walking around Chicago to see him and talk to him. I want to get his new Book of Vices.

Oh, I do...just...we kind of count as one person. Like, if one of us listens to it...the other probably does too. Ya know?

^I still count you as TWO :P
That's cool that you both are into it though. I had one ex introduce me to the show and another who hated it. |
