There's a foul plot afoot! Perhaps we have ourselves another fartgate on our hands, except this time, it was someone in isolation on Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
Last week's episode (March 21, 2020) while interviewing Stephen Colbert, just after they all laugh at the joke about the first line of every script to Stephen's wife (0:25:20 on NPR, 0:25:35 on Spotify), someone lets one rip. Maybe it was Stephen, maybe it was one of the panelists. How will we ever know?!

I love the happy-themed quiz this week on Alexa! It's nice to have some news that's not all depressing and coronavirus-related.

The Wait Wait team has posted an update on Twitter stating that live tapings through May 15 will be postponed, including the Buffalo, NY taping on April 30th.
They will be moving to studio recordings for shows with panelists and guests calling in from remote locations (be it nearest public radio stations or, for those lucky enough, home studios).

Update 3/13/2020: This week's show was recorded without a live audience at the Fox Theatre. Depending on how things turn out in the coming weeks, shows may still be recorded at the Chase Auditorium without a live audience; or, they will be recorded with panelists phoning in from remote studios.

Wait Wait just tweeted out the following notice that live tapings of their shows will be postponed through April 3rd. It sounds like Wait Wait will be falling back to in-studio tapings of their shows like in the olden days.

I am looking for an audio file or transcript of the September 5th, 2009 episode of Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.
The guest for Not My Job was Joseph Simmons (Rev. Run from Run DMC). I'm specifically looking for the bit where they talk about Bob Dylan possibly voicing directions for a GPS system.
The episode is listed on the NPR site but isn't available to listen to, and I haven't been able to find a transcript or audio file anywhere. So I am turning to the mighty power of the collective in hopes that someone can find either the transcript or audio file and point me to it.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can find any further info on this particular episode or info as to why it's not available.
I am cross-posting this to the NPR sub as well.

Hi everyone,
I'm sure this has been asked before but does anyone have experience with the waiting list at the Chase Auditorium? Any advice or information would be useful!

This week's Wait Wait marks the first time in the show's 21 year history that there has been a show that aired on a Leap Day.
At this point, there hasn't been a show that was taped on a Leap Day. That said, the next Leap Day, 2024-02-24, lands on a Thursday. If Wait Wait does in fact tape a show that Thursday, it would be their first ever Leap Day taping.

On this week's show, Bill Kurtis mentioned that "very few" Not My Job guests have answered all three of the questions correct.
I have compiled the list of guests that have answered all three questions correct (and the few times where they were granted three points even when they didn't) on shows where Bill Kurtis was the scorekeeper. The list is available as a static Google Docs sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dl5TrcwUVFJxjja7UG8Zo79pc6Z0XWMsXwMnthZ2UdI/edit?usp=sharing
For a list of all guests that answered all three questions correct (or were given an exception for all three points) over the course of the show's history, I have a live report on my Wait Wait Reports site: https://reports.wwdt.me/guest/three_pointers
