Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

Listen on KEDM:
  • Saturday 10-11am
Listen on KEDM Ideas:
  • Sunday 3-4pm
For a wacky and whip-smart approach to the week’s news and newsmakers, listen no further than Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, the oddly informative news quiz from NPR. During each fast-paced, irreverent show, host Peter Sagal leads what might be characterized as the news Olympics. Callers, panelists, and guests compete by answering questions about the week's events, identifying impersonations, filling in the blanks at lightening speed, sniffing out fake news items, and deciphering limericks. Listeners vie for a chance to win the most coveted prize in radio: having official judge and scorekeeper Carl Kasell record the outgoing message on their home answering machine.

Weekend Radio

Listen on KEDM:
  • Sunday 11am-12pm

Weekend Radio, that "curiously strange and offbeat potpourri of music, wit and convivial companionship," is a skillful mixture of classical music, cross-over selections and comedy bits presented by program host Robert Conrad -- in his other life known at the even staid and conservative host of the Cleveland Orchestra broadcasts. Conrad takes his cue for particular programs from Chases' Calendar of Events, an encyclopedia of offbeat happenings, which has resulted in programs about Mole Day (a mole equals 6 x 10 to the 23rd power), Computer Learning Month, Weatherman's Day, and National Chicken Month.
