Today in History - 1938

Way before Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, there was the radio quiz show Information Please which was first broadcast on this day. Until Information Please, radio quiz shows generally posed difficult questions to ordinary people. Information Please assembled a panel of experts and intellectuals and asked them tricky questions. The show ran until 1948.

Enjoy an Information Please episode. Something a bit more recent? Listen to an episode of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
