Ask Me Another (RIP) was a much better show

The hosts were just as liberal as the Wait Wait lineup (Peter Sagal and the panelists) but they spent their time actually asking quiz questions and doing the games!

The people on Wait Wait spend more than 75% of the show sniffing their own rhetorical farts.

Unfortunately, they canceled Ask Me Another in 2021. The Sunday Puzzle feature with Will Shortz is still good but the news coverage around it is such shit (the comment below mocking such stories as "Is Pickleball hurting black trans women?" is hyperbolic but only slightly) that I rarely listen to it anymore. I catch it every now in then in my podcast feed as a short 5-6 minute brainteaser.
