Some of public radio's biggest stars contributed stories to the book: Bob Edwards, Susan Stamberg, Cokie Roberts, Nina Totenberg, Paula Poundstone, Mo Rocca, and many others.

About the Author

Carl Kasell was the voice that millions of people woke up to each morning. He was news anchor for NPR's popular Morning Edition from the show's beginning until he stepped down in 2009. In 1998, Kasell joined a fledgling news quiz show as official judge and scorekeeper. As the popularity of Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! grew, Kasell's popularity exploded. He became a rock star, in the public radio sense of the term, with an adoring, cult-like following significantly populated by young women in their 20s and 30s, and fans of all ages who still covet Carl's voice on their voice mail.
