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!
“Study break” is back with a special guest! This Friday at 12 PM CT, you can hang out with former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. (And us!)
Save this Google document. At 12 PM CT on Friday, we’ll drop a Zoom link. The first 10 people to click on it will be in a Zoom call with Mike, Ian, Heena and Pete (am I allowed to call him that?). Come with all your questions for fmr. Sec. Buttigieg, silly or serious, from “what’s your skincare routine?” to “no, seriously, how is your skin so clear?”
In the meantime, if you want your question answered in season two, email us at howto@npr.org. No question is too weird.
See you soon!
