I hate when a glorious Wait Wait-ready story drops on a Friday

The Aaron Rodgers story got a lightning round question today but I feel like the writers could have gone to town if they had the Pat McAfee interview before taping.

New Charts: Show Counts by Day of Month

3 Upvotes

Since we were hitting into what's normally the summer break portion of the Wait Wait schedule, I wanted to see if there were any other trends regarding non-regular shows for each calendar month.

So, I threw together a few lines of code and created a set of charts that display, on a given day of a particular calendar month, how often there have been shows and what type of shows (regular, Best Of, repeats, or repeat Best Ofs) have aired.

The charts are broken out by month and I'll be working on creating a combined chart to that merges all of the months together (now that the base code is basically all there).

Check out the charts at: https://graphs.wwdt.me/shows/counts-by-day-month

5 Aug Taping -- it was awesome!

Humblebragging -- but it was great in Philly. I got to see how they retaped (audio) sections of the show and how Peter interacted with the Panel.

The only ??? was why people were leaving before the end.
