About the Author

Information, Please! was one of the most popular shows in the Golden Age of radio. It went on the air just as the United States was emerging from the Great Depression, carried through World War II, and ended as the Golden Age of television began in the Eisenhower 50s. The show turned traditional quiz programs on their heads by allowing the public to ask questions of a panel of experts, who would then provide the answers, or at least a reply that was entertaining, if not plausible. Listeners from across the country wrote in with questions on topics ranging from performing arts to natural history.

The creators of the Information, Please! radio show saw a need for a reference book with answers to the type of questions they received, and they began publishing the Information Please Almanac in 1947. The almanac -- the show's most enduring legacy -- has been published annually from 1947 to the present. almanac as the TIME Almanac with Information Please.
