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!
This week: A Broadway star tells us how he finished the New York Marathon and then performed in two shows back to back, a wife seeks advice on how best to shave her hairy companion, plus, are the lyrics to Bye Bye Birdie what we think they are?
You can email your burning questions to howto@npr.org.
