We would argue "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me!" is always worth being part of your weekend. But if you need an extra incentive, this week's show was taped in Portland last night, at Merrill Auditorium. That means long-time Morning Edition newscaster Carl Kasell was nearby and we couldn't resist the opportunity to have him come by the Portland studios for an interview. MPBN Morning Edition host Irwin Gratz asked Kasell if he misses doing daily newscasts, which he retired from in 2009.
