Information Please is a lively radio quiz and conversation program built around questions from listeners. A panel of knowledgeable guests takes on queries spanning subjects such as history, literature, science, and popular culture, while host Clifton Fadiman guides the discussion.
The appeal lies in the panelists’ mix of expertise, quick wit, and willingness to banter as they work through the questions. Oscar Levant, known for his musical talent and sharp humor, brings a distinctive personality to the exchange. Rather than a formal lecture, the program turns learning into an entertaining conversation, with answers and digressions sharing the spotlight.
Its tone is bright, clever, and sociable: a meeting of quiz show, cultural discussion, and comedy. Listeners can enjoy the challenge of considering each question alongside the panel, as well as the spontaneous repartee that makes the program feel like an animated gathering of smart, amusing company.
