Public radio's game show of bluff and bluster, words and whimsy. The warmest, wittiest cocktail party - it's spirited and civil, brainy and boisterous, peppered with musical interludes. Fast paced and playful, it's the most fun you can have with language without getting your mouth washed out with soap. Our motto: It's not important to know the answers, it's important to like the answers!

Customer Reviews
No one can replace .....
2/18/24 Ok. So I faced it you are no longer in production. PLEASE. Your demise is relatively recent. Can’t you post some shows that are, perhaps in the last 5 years? I don’t quite understand why you post 20+ year old shows when you have much more current ones. Sure do miss y’all! Sadly, it seems all the knowledge enhancing , hysterical, fun shows are quitting. I miss the laughter. Surely there are others who could take over. Naturally, no one as fabulously GREAT AS YOU ALL, I understand that of course! Thanks for all the years you’ve brought us happiness and laughter! Love you! Petra
