From the Back Cover
What the bona fide news media says about Wait, Wait:
"What is it about National Public Radio's menu of shows that's so addictive? Among the best shows is Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me!"--The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me! is sassy, fast-paced, and irreverent. It is also one of National Public Radio's most popular programs.... A typical Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me! episode is a mix of offbeat questions and answers that prompt giggles and guffaws."--Dayton Daily News
Press praise for Wait, Wait Road Shows
"...the seemingly staid NPR listeners went as wild as teens at a Britney Spears concert.... For fans of public radio news or its lighter side, that experience was magic indeed."--Boston Globe
"...the program's rabid fans clamor for Sagal, and especially Kasell, like rock stars."--Los Angeles Times
