Deze podcast komt voor uit de nieuwsquiz Wait wait… don’t Tell Me! en het is een combinatie van zelfhulp en handige feitjes. Elke aflevering worden een aantal grote en kleine vragen behandeld. Bijvoorbeeld: hoe knippen astronauten hun haar, en hoe kun je van jezelf weten of je stinkt? Presentatoren Mike Danforth en Ian Chillag gaan op een energieke en vrolijke manier op zoek naar deskundigen of manieren om de vraag te beantwoorden. Je zou zeggen dat alle vragen tegenwoordig wel te googelen zijn, maar dan zijn de antwoorden niet zo vermakelijk.
Half advice show. Half survival guide. Half absurdity-fest. (Wait, how does this work again? We’re not numbers people.) Each episode, we answer all your burning questions, from how to survive a public bathroom to how to get close to a panda. When we don’t know the answer, which is roughly 92% of the time (again, not numbers people), we bring in overqualified experts to help out. So you’ll eventually walk away knowing how to do everything. That’s what happens when you’re one & a half shows. From the team at Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!
On our season finale, when a young listener has a question on behalf of her fifth grade class, we call up an old friend/chimp butt expert to help her out. And Saturday Night Live’s James Austin Johnson walks us through his hilarious Donald Trump impression to tend to a listener’s curiosities. Plus, Mike and Ian are stressed about some (cryptic) hate mail, so they call Patton Oswalt for some words of encouragement.
You can email your burning questions to howto@npr.org. And not to fear, we will be returning for season two. Follow @waitwaitnpr on Instagram for updates on how to stay in touch in the meantime.
