Wait, Wait...

For the NPR quiz show Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me! this week, I decided to post the full show – that’s because it’s their first with a live audience in a  year-and-a-half, recorded outdoors last Saturday at the Mann Center in Philadelphia.  And having a crowd (and such an enthusiastic one, to be back) is a palpable treat. 

As for our regular standby feature of the ‘Not My Job’ segment, the guest is local -- Larry Krasner, a former defense attorney for 30 years and civil rights lawyer who eventually decided to fix the problems he long-railed about on the other side and ran for District Attorney in Philadelphia and won, and is finishing up his first term. In his light-hearted, but often engagingly blunt interview with host Peter Sagal, he talks about documentary series that followed him after he got elected and also about screwing up trying to cut off his pony tail.  If you want to jump directly to the “Not My Job” segment, it started around the 18:15 mark.
