Information Please
by
Information Please is a lively radio quiz program built around questions from listeners and the quick-witted panelists who try to answer them. Host Clifton Fadiman guides the discussion, keeping the exchanges brisk while giving the experts room to show off their knowledge and humor.
The pleasure comes as much from the conversation as from the answers. Panelists draw on wide-ranging expertise, challenge one another, and respond to questions that can lead from facts and literature to unexpected bits of trivia. The format makes learning feel like an entertaining parlor game rather than a formal lecture.
Its tone is clever, conversational, and good-humored, with the panel’s lively repartee at the center. This broadcast features Quincy Howe, George S. Kaufman, and Bernard Jaffe, offering a snapshot of the program’s mix of informed discussion and playful competition.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
