Whad'Ya Know?

[Hibb]

One of the NPR shows I like to listen to is Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya
Know? Around here, it is on on Saturday afternoons. He always has a
general knowledge quiz and before they start the quiz he or an
audience member reads this four part disclaimer.

1. "All questions used on Whad'ya Know? have been painstakingly
researched, although the answers have not. Ambiguous, misleading, or
poorly worded questions are par for the course. Listeners who are
sticklers for the truth should get their own shows."

2. Here the audience member reads a short statement making light of
a current event. (Sometimes this quip takes the third position rather
than the second.)

3. "Persons employed by the International House of Radio or its
member stations are lucky to be working at all, let alone tying up the
office phones trying to play the quiz. Listeners who have won recently
should sit on their hands and let someone else have a chance for a
change."

4. "All opinions expressed on Whad'ya Know? are well-reasoned and
insightful. Needless to say, they are not those of the International
House of Radio, its member stations, or lackeys. Anyone who says
otherwise is itching for a fight."

Good show. One of the local Rep's running in the primary here bragged "I don't listen to NPR". He might as well say "I'm gonna lose."
