Whether revealing events in small-town America or overseas, or profiling notable personalities, Weekend Edition from NPR News appreciates the extraordinary details that make up every story. This two-hour morning newsmagazine covers hard news, a wide variety of newsmakers, and cultural stories with care, accuracy, and a wink of humor, courtesy of host Scott Simon. On Saturdays, Simon's award-winning commentaries sum up an idea or event related to the week's news. Clever, information-packed exchanges with NPR senior news analyst Daniel Schorr, sports columnist Ron Rapoport, gardening guru Ketzel Levine, entertainment critic Elvis Mitchell, and other commentators contribute to the unique feel and personality of the show.
10:00 amCarTalk

Tom and Ray Magliozzi
Imagine the Marx Brothers answering questions about automobiles. Picture Monty Python trying to imitate car noises. Think of A.J. Foyt telling someone how to open the car hood. Mix it all up, throw in a little Dr. Ruth and a little Smothers Brothers, and you've got Car Talk, NPR's Peabody Award-winning radio program heard by more than 3 million listeners each week.
11:00 amWait, Wait, Don't Tell Me

Hosted by Peter Sagal
For a wacky and whip-smart approach to the week's news and newsmakers, listen no further than 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.

3:00 pmThis American Life

with Ira Glass
One of the problems with our show from the start has been that whenever we try to describe it in a sentence or two, it sounds awful. It's a bunch of stories--some are documentaries, some are fiction, some are something else. Each week we choose a theme and invite different writers and performers to contribute items on the theme. This doesn't sound like something we'd want to listen to on the radio--and it's our show.It's a weekly show. It's an hour. Its mission is to document everyday life in this country. We sometimes think of it as a documentary show for people who normally hate documentaries. A public radio show for people who don't necessarily care for public radio.
4:00 pmSays You!

with Richard Sher
A humourous game of words and whimsy, bluff and bluster.
4:30 pmCounterspin

8:00 pmGrateful Dead Hour

Hosted By: David Gans
David Gans thinks he has the best job in the world. "I'm one of the luckiest people I know," he says. "Not only am I paid to make Grateful Dead tapes, but my commute is down the stairs. I think I'm making out like a bandit. And it's fun."

Gans is the producer and host of The Grateful Dead Hour, a syndicated weekly radio program currently airing on 59 stations across the U.S., including most major markets. The hour-long show features unreleased live material from the Dead's private vaults, but it's a lot more, too. Gans has made it a point to diversify the shows' content, so that listeners can not only add rare, vintage recordings to their collections but get some idea of "where the Dead are coming from," according to Gans.
9:00 pmStuck in the Psychedelic Era

with The Hermit
A music-intensive historical retrospective of the anarchic years following the British Invasion of the mid-1960s, before the major record labels were able to reassert themselves and regain control of the music industry in the early 1970s.
