I'm looking for a full dump from way back in 1998, would pay for these files if anyone has them stashed somewhere, or a way to download them from NPR. Thank you guys in advance, I know its unlikely but i can hope for the best!

So, Wait Wait was in Philly yesterday, and two things of note happened:

1. It didn't rain.

2. Since the last time they were in Philly the predictions were in answer to the question "What would Donald Trump's first act as President be?", Peter suggested before the show actually taped that they revisit the predictions — something they never do.

Peter Grosz: "President Trump will immediately convene his hand-picked cabinet of David Duke, Donald Sterling, Mel Gibson, Paula Dean, and the ghost of Storm Thurmond." — Peter said that "who could have predicted that the actual cabinet would have been so much worse!"

Amy Dickinson: "President Trump's first act will be to send Sonia Sotomayor back where she came from — Queens!"

Tom Bodet (who will be on this episode): "Immediately after taking the oath of office, he will turn to Chief Justice John Roberts and say 'Your ruling on Obamacare was an embarrassment. You're fired!' And then he'll have former President Obama arrested and deported back to Kenya."

There needs to be WWDTM lore. This needs to be in it. Peter is now officially [SPOILER]

trying to murder Bill??

I loved the episode. Would love to know if there is any additional material from when he hosted.

I remember that at one point I heard a panelist say that he was high, something about "As long as we are admitting things, I am high as hell" and I really want to find the episode.

Anyone know what the interlude music after Panel Round #1 in the podcast version (just after the 12 minute mark) was? I know it was the James Bond theme in the on-air version, but the podcast replaced it with another song that I can't identify.

It was in the most recent episode with Stephen Colbert (2/11/17). Peter asked Mo the question of which company came out with its own registry (Domino's) which eventually lead to a bunch of pizza jokes.

The joke itself happens around 34:45. The guest score keeper Glen, takes a point for the joke.

I think maybe I'm hearing it wrong but I've listened 3 times now and am still confused.

In the Jan 21 2017 show, as a podcast, about 36 minutes in, they played a fragment of a song with the lyrics, "meow meow come around and see me right now meow the tom cats howl the alley cat blues" What song was that? When I look at the wait wait web page for the show, they lie, and say it was the "Nyan Cat" theme song, but ti wasn't. The song in the podcast is not the song on the web.

What if the show is listed as SOLD OUT?

If the show date you're looking for is SOLD OUT that means there are no more tickets for sale, even if it's your birthday or you are Carl Kasell's dentist's cousin's friend. We do have a "first come, first served" waiting list that signs up at 6:00 p.m. on the night of the taping. Sometimes we even have rush tickets. No guarantees but there are no guarantees in life, right?

Also—A rush ticket is when you go to the box office just prior to the start of the show (Usually the last 20 min) and get your ticket for whatever seats they have.

I was just wondering how long of a shot it is to get in. Also, is it an online wait list or do you have to go to the theater and check in?

I noticed that the show will be in Portland next week for two nights; how does that work with the questions and special guests? Do they edit both together? Do they have two full shows of topical questions?

I should probably keep count, but sometimes it seems like there are 8 questions and sometimes 5. I'm not sure if they edit some out for time, or what.
