Guest - Marc Connolly, Marcus Duffield

In this June 14, 1938, episode of Information Please, moderator Clifton Fadiman returns with another spirited round of trivia, challenging a panel of experts to answer quirky, thought-provoking questions from the listening public. This week’s guest of honor is playwright Marc Connelly, known for The Green Pastures, who joins columnist Franklin P. Adams, editor Marcus Duffield, and sports columnist John Kieran on the panel.From classic songs and famous lines to historical figures and folklore, the questions put the panel’s diverse knowledge to the test. How well can they identify dances named after fruits or animals, recognize famous quotes from American poets, or recall details about unusual first names? Each question holds the potential for a $5 prize if the experts are stumped, and the quick wit and banter keep the stakes high and the humor flowing.Listeners will enjoy the lively interactions and surprising answers as the experts work together (and sometimes stumble) in this fun-filled episode. Join us for a delightful slice of radio history where anything can happen, and see if you can answer the questions faster than the experts! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
