Well, if I have to define the initials for you- well, that really is a shame,but for the sake of clarity I will: Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. A weekly current affairs radio game show on NPR hosted in the Chase Theatre in downtown Chicago. Most Saturdays we either take a break from chores, or during a late breakfast, or driving to an activity will turn the radio dial and listen in as they entertainingly present a recap of the weekly news.

Rindy, ever the good present buyer, bought tickets for a live recording. I like the show, so maybe I am predisposed in a positive way but truth be told it was a great present. It was a snowy evening, but a relatively painless drive downtown , straight in and right on time. The crowd was younger than we anticipated but looked NPRish.

Paula Poundstone was one of the three guest panelist and she is hilarious. The show clipped along and I was surprised that they recorded as much content as they did to get one hour. It flew by, we had a great time, and chuckled again on the Saturday the played it. The program date it aired was January 14, 2012. If you listen closely you can hear my gentile chortling in the background.
