THE WAIT ALBUM More of the Best

The fourth compilation of the popular National Public Radio program “Wait Wait . . . Don’t Tell Me!” is as funny digitally as it is on the radio. The concept is simple: A renowned person comes on the show and answers quiz questions in the hope of winning prizes for an audience member. Here, emcees Peter Sagal and Carl Kasell have selected excerpts that will appeal to anyone from teenagers to adults. Guests include TV actor Henry Winkler, aka “The Fonz”; NBC News anchor Brian Williams; baseball record holder Cal Ripken, Jr.; and primatologist Jane Goodall. They all have a jolly good time, and they don’t worry about their audio performance. Neither should you. All the voices are clear, robust, confident, and comical.
