Tom Bergeron with Says You in San Bernardino!

San Bernardino with Tom Bergeron! on June 25. Yes, Tom Bergeron, Emmy award winner and host of Dancing with the Stars will be reuniting with his long-time friends to play Says You! Like most of the cast, Tom is a Boston boy and got his start locally at WBZ –TV hosting and anchoring where the rest of our gang was at one time or another gainfully employed. By the 90’s Tom chose a bi-coastal lifestyle becoming the face and heart of America’s Funniest Home Videos, Hollywood Squares, and – of course – Dancing with the Stars. Our one concern is that Tom used to work as a mime, someone should be sure to tell him Says You! is radio.

Says You online availability

Listener Bill has a question for us:

I usually love your show, but I was ecstatic over the “Previous Line of a Song” episode that I heard on your April 14, 2016 show.
My sister teaches choral music in a high school and I think that she would really enjoy that episode. How can I get an audio copy to share with her?

The answer? Our current season of Says You! is a podcast. We have an app available in the iTunes App Store a mere .99 cents and then each week a new show is aired, you will receive it for free!  We are currently in the process of finalizing an Android version as well. Thank you, Bill!

Quechua in Boston — SPOILERS

At the Boston University show we took a glance into the most widely spoken indigenous language family in the Americas. We like to think of this round as a foray into pig Latin, or perhaps guinea-pig Latin. To help the listeners at home, Barry suggested we post the spellings and pronunciations.

If you haven’t listened to the show yet, you might not want to read these yet! You can find a station to listen to or check us out on iTunes.
