Quips on the Quimper – Listen Now!
Our first show from Port Townsend, a community event for The Jefferson Clemente Course in the Humanities, airs this weekend. This is not the first time the cast has journeyed from Seattle by ferry to Bainbridge and beyond. Our much admired friends, Brion Toss and Pattie Miles joined Barry to team up against Carolyn, Murray, and Lela Hilton, Director of The Jefferson Clemente Course and our champion hostess. Thanks to Finnriver Farms for hosting our meet and greet! There’s no better way to prepare for punning and puzzling than cider, crepes, and friends. Tune into your local station for some Quips on the Quimper.
We would tell you how great the night was, but our friends at The Port Townsend Leader were taking notes all night. They summed up the fun here.

Welcome Gregg Porter as our New Host!
Please help me welcome Gregg Porter of KUOW as our new host of Says You!. Porter’s move to the lectern was announced in the most recent edition of Current, and his first official episode, recorded at Vermont Public Radio, will air this weekend – last weekend of April. The Vermont shows were made possible with help of Ty Robertson and Robin Turnau, I thank both for their continued support. Barry Nolan, panelist emeritus, returns to his rightful seat at our table, chair six, as a permanent player on Says You!
I am thrilled to announce that Says You! has joined an exclusive club with our landmark 500th episode, recorded in Salt Lake City. A very special thanks to Lauren Colucci for helping us mark this special occasion.
I am on my way with the cast to Wisconsin Public Radio to celebrate with two live performances as WPR kicks off their second centennial on the air. In late June, Gregg Porter will play to a home crowd when Says You! performs live shows in Seattle and Port Townsend. Please reach out if you have any questions or just want to catch up.
Sincerely,
Laura P. Sher, Executive Producer – Says You!
