**Says You! – A Quiz Show for Lovers of Words, Culture, and History**

Public radio’s game show of bluff and bluster, words and whimsy. The warmest, wittiest cocktail party – it’s spirited and civil, brainy and boisterous, peppered with musical interludes. Fast paced and playful, it’s the most fun you can have with language without getting your mouth washed out with soap. Our motto: It’s not important to know the answers, it’s important to like the answers!
