Podcast listener and Mountain View, California resident Pat shares her first time listening to Says You! Several years ago, I was hauling stuff to the recycling center, when the KQED program I was listening to went off, and Says You! came on. Since I was driving I wasn’t going to fiddle around with the radio, […]
WPLN listener Chris from Monteagle, TN, has a definition that’s lost its word. When I was in the navy fifty years ago, a friend whose father worked at the Museum of Natural History said that his father had come across a word in the unabridged dictionary that meant “to twitch nervously at one’s coverlet” but […]
From Cleveland, New Mexico, KENW listener Michael sends his take on the bluff ‘sesses.’ I was listening to the broadcast today and there was a bluffing round with the word ‘sesses.’ I was surprised that the neither of the bluffers or the guessing panelists picked up on the definition (which is a fake) that immediately […]
Sarah from Shirley, MA, listens to our show on WGBH and writes with a request: I know you sometimes take requests for games people would like to hear rebroadcast from older shows. The first time I ever hear Says You! there was a game all about the jargon associated with traffic engineering. The term I remember […]
Allen listens on Blue Ridge Public Radio and writes from Asheville: My wife & I had the privilege to attend a double tapping of Says You! in Asheville, NC. One of the “Odd Man Out” questions mentioned Willie Stargell. A point of interest I wanted to share… Willie Stargell played minor league baseball for the Asheville […]
Zeke from Gorham, ME, has been diving deep into Says You! but is coming to the end of his binge. I listen to your show every day, and I love it! I am nearly done with all of the episodes on the podcasts, and I am ready for more. More are coming! Keep an eye […]
Robert listens on WFCR and heard an uncommon but familiar word on our show. He wrote to Tony Kahn to share. In a bluffing round on Says You! some two years ago (or perhaps more) you had the correct definition of verbunkos as a dance used in military recruiting, which you and your colleagues thought was […]
When the signal comes through Paul listens on 89.7 WGBH from Boston, but wishes we’d come visit Rhode Island. I have been an avid fan and listener of the show for many years as a writer and a museum Archivist. I am a resident of Rhode Island and for as long as I can remember, […]
Thor writes from Montreal, Canada, attempting to confirm a word. I am trying to recall one of the words defined on the program. The correct definition was “To fluff up cushions on a couch or sofa.” I thought the word was something like “chounce”… but I can’t find the word anywhere or confirm the spelling. […]
Earlier this week we received a letter that really pulled at our heartstrings. Marcia sent a great submission and shared what Says You! has meant to her: Thanks for writing Marcia. See you in Nashville on Father’s Day.
