Subject: BS: 'Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me' on NPR
Saturday morning NPR radio shows have been a bright spot in my life these days. I used to enjoy "Car Talk", but lately when I hear the brothers snorting and laughing too loud and often at their lame jokes I just can take only about fifteen minutes of the show. I just am completely tired of Garrison Keillor and have been for more than a decade. Michael Feldman never did do it for me---even when he was popular early in his career on Wisconsin Public Radio broadcasting live from that club in Madison, WI , Club DeWash where Peter and Lu Berryman always played.

But the show called WAIT, WAIT DON'T TELL ME is the freshest thing on the air. Very funny (usually). Host, Peter Sagle, keeps a great pace and is just on top of the action all the time. He always seems to have the right (and funny) thing to say. Carl Kastle(?spelling), the NPR newsman, is their great announcer. The rest of the panel is simply great from show to show. And they all bring biting political (and otherwise) humor to the airwaves to these times that are sadly and badly in need of real thinking-person's humor to help us deal with an era that is otherwise truly insane.

Is it just me, or do other folks like this show too???
