Information Please
University of Michigan Student Myron Wallace
by
Information Please is a lively radio quiz program built around questions from listeners and the quick-witted exchanges of its expert panel. The panelists draw on broad knowledge of literature, history, science, and popular culture, while host Clifton Fadiman keeps the conversation moving and gives the answers room to surprise.
Rather than a formal lecture or a simple question-and-answer test, the program turns knowledge into entertainment. Listeners’ questions prompt discussion, confident guesses, corrections, and playful banter among the panelists. The result is a mix of useful facts and spontaneous conversation, with the pleasure often coming as much from how the panel reaches an answer as from the answer itself.
Its tone is bright, urbane, and good-humored, making it an inviting listen for anyone who enjoys clever conversation and general-knowledge puzzles. This recording’s title identifies a University of Michigan student, Myron Wallace, in connection with the program.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
