Customer Reviews
NPR's best programming!
Amazing show! Carl Kasell and Peter Sagal are a humorous team that take the week's news point out the irony, discontinuity, or radicalness. The panel adds comedy to the mix, and together, they are the best way to enjoy the week's events. In my opinion, the Paula Poundstone episodes are the best.
The best show ever!!
I love wait wait don’t tell me! I would recommend it for anyone! It is hilarious and my only source of news! (I would give it more stars but I can’t!)
Funny and informative? Yes please!
I had no idea what to expect from this podcast, but found myself chuckling over and over again while cleaning up and listening. It’s like I learn little tidbits of information from the WSJ podcast, and come to WWDTM to hear it in a fun way! Very quick witted hosts
