David Byrne comes to raise the hair on your arms and the sweat on your palms. Eno and Byrne have made a new record, their first in 30 years – the formula was lost, but now it has been found. Byrne and Eno began their artistic relationship in the late seventies with 3 Talking Heads albums, followed by their groundbreaking album, My Life in the Bust of Ghosts. Songs from all of the above will be performed in this concert, but not in that order.

For a wacky and whip-smart approach to the week's news and newsmakers, it’s Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!, the oddly informative news quiz from NPR. During each fast-paced, irreverent show, host Peter Sagal leads what might be characterized as the news Olympics. Callers, panelists, and guests compete by answering questions about the week's events, identifying impersonations, filling in the blanks at lightening speed, sniffing out fake news items, and deciphering limericks. Listeners vie for a chance to win the most coveted prize in radio: having official judge and scorekeeper Carl Kasell record the outgoing message on their home answering machine.
