| "How To Do Everything" now available sponsor-free
Half advice show. Half survival guide. Half absurdity-fest. (Wait, how does this work again? We're not numbers people.) Each episode, we answer all your burning questions, from how to survive a public bathroom to how to get close to a panda. When we don't know the answer, which is roughly 92% of the time (again, not numbers people), we bring in overqualified experts to help out. So you'll eventually walk away knowing how to do everything. That's what happens when you're one & a half shows. From the team at Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

| Wes Craven Knew Why Human Monsters Were The Scariest Of All
We continue our October tribute to masters of horror with a listen back to Terry's 1998 interview with film director Wes Craven. His 'Scream' franchise was a smash hit later in his career, but his earlier work on 'A Nightmare On Elm Street' and 'The Hills Have Eyes' was just as scary. When he spoke to Terry, 'Scream 2' had just made a killing at the box office. Craven also directed 'Scream 3' and 'Scream 4,' with the most recent entries in the still ongoing series taken up by new directors. Craven died in 2015 at the age of 76.
