Your Friday Afternoon Wants Carl's Voice on Their Answering Machine

Geekery, Politics & Current Events

I love NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. I listen every week, and think I know a good deal about the show. Turns out I am a rank amateur. I give you the Wait Wait Don't Tell Me Database.  Wondering which panelist has the most appearances? Who's won the most? If Paula Poundstone wins are as rare as she seems to think they are?

Some fascinating useless data. If you're the betting sort, it seems like Adam Felber is the way to go.

    FYI, most of the old shows are available via the NPR.org website, if listening to quizzes based on news from the late 90s is something you're interested in.

    If you're a fan, try this one out. It's Wisconsin Public Radio, so the guests aren't really big names, but it's pretty damn good.
