Podcast: Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!
After going through thousand of podcast, I finally figured out how to play them on the computer. The podcast that I heard was Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! The episode that I did was Skateboarder Tony Hawk Plays ‘Not My Job’. Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! is an hour-long weekly radio news quiz game show produced by Chicago Public Radio and National Public Radio. It is distributed by NPR in the United States and on the Internet through podcast. In this show they call a person up to the stage and after listening to a short quotation that person has to tell who said it. Listeners can participate by telephoning or sending e-mails to nominate themselves as contestants. The producers select several listeners for each show, and call them to appear on the program, playing various games featuring questions based on the week’s news. The games include Ask Carl, Carlbook, Who’s Carl This Time?, Bluff the Listener, An Internet Destination Called Carlslist, Listener Limerick Challenge, Not My Job, and Wait Wait… Television. In this episode, they played a game called Skateboarder Tony Hawk Plays ‘Not My Job’. In this game, they invite Tony Hawk. They were sure to point out that “skateboarding” is one of those fun things your mother wouldn’t let you do and they called up Hawk since he has spent his career horrifying the concerned mothers of America. In the show they play a game they called “Hey! You could put an eye out!” where they ask Hawk three questions about safety measures. This was a good podcast to listen to cause it keeps you updated in a comical way and is fun to listen to.
