Is this week\u2019s news elevating your blood pressure? Are hallucinogenic drug looking like an attractive way to get your mind off the dismal state of national and world events? Believe me, Wait Wait…Don\u2019t Tell Me!, NPR\u2019s weekly comedy news show is just what the doctor ordered.<\/p>\n

Everyone at my house wait waits all week for Saturday when we listen to wait wait. Host Peter Segal\u2019s razor sharp wit and impeccable delivery make each week\u2019s episode an auditory delight. Carl Castle\u2019s newscaster voice (which he will record on your home answering machine if you win the quiz) adds dignity to the festivities, at least until his playfulness peeks through and destroys the illusion. And when the guest panelists<\/a> get on a roll, we laugh so hard tears fall down our cheeks and snot runs out our noses.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t yet listened to the weekend show, I feel sorry for you. Everyone needs a belly laugh now and then. wait wait delivers them by the truckload week after week. So check your local public radio station\u2019s<\/a> schedule to see when it airs. If your station doesn\u2019t carry it, visit the wait wait…don\u2019t tell me website where you can listen online or download the podcast. Give the show a try and when snot starts running out your nose, please leave a comment. It would be reassuring to know that whole goofy gang has the same effect on someone else, too.<\/p>\n

If you want wait wait all week long, check their website<\/a> where you\u2019ll find a daily quiz. You can play and keep track of your score. The questions are hard, but the hints make it easy to choose the right answer and fool yourself into thinking you\u2019re really, really smart. Which you will be if you listen to wait wait…don\u2019t tell me!<\/p>\n

Not because you\u2019ll be current on current events, but because you know laughter is the best medicine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
