Information Please

Bernard Jaffe and Alice Marble

English · Radio, Courses

Information Please is a lively radio quiz program built around questions from listeners and the quick-witted exchanges of its panel. Host Clifton Fadiman guides the proceedings, while regular panelists use their knowledge, humor, and conversational skill to tackle questions on a wide range of subjects.

The pleasure lies as much in the discussion as in the answers. A question can prompt a confident response, a playful disagreement, or an unexpected detour, with the host keeping the conversation moving and the panel’s personalities coming through in their banter. The program combines the feel of an informal conversation with the challenge of a quiz.

This recording features Bernard Jaffe and Alice Marble. Its appeal is the mix of curiosity, lively repartee, and spontaneous wit: listeners can follow the questions while enjoying the panel’s distinctive way of thinking aloud.
