  • This is Liane Hansen's 20th year as the host of NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday. To celebrate the occasion, we taped this week's puzzle segment in front of a live audience.

    Its great, hearing these voices for years, and finally seeing the faces behind them. It seems like I create images of what they look like in my head, and its always surprising when I actually see them.
    NPR is awesome.

    I actually cried a little when I heard this segment on the show. I have been listening for at least 11 years and when I heard that this one was filmed I couldn't wait to watch. Very cool! Congrats on 20 awesome years!

    I've been a listener to Weekend Edition for years but I have never before seen any of these people. I had to close my eye to hear their voices, and then open them to see what they looked like. This video was a real treat.

    What a treat to see the faces behind those familiar voices. No money wasted on Miss Clarol for those folks!

    My family growing up used to send cassette recordings of narration and spoken letters to each other back in the day, and hearing the NPR voices each week for the news is like getting a new letter from them again, or rediscovering an old recorded letter from a long-passed relative. It's great every time, even when the news is sour ^_^

    This video was such a treat! I listen to NPR Sunday Puzzle on my ipod while exercising outside. Sometimes blurting out the answers to the amazement to anyone else within earshot. My family and the Shortzs were neighbors in central Indiana back in the 1950's. The entire Shortz family is brilliant. Hey Will join me for a scrabble game on the Internet Scrabble Club, I play several hours a day. I'm Catspjs and I've logged over 30,000 games in 5 years.

    What is that annoying jazz clip that they seem to have been using since the Sunday Puzzle's inception?

    Will overlooked a couple of alternative answers in the initial Q&A...
    Golf and poker: the answer could also be clubs
    Bridge and baseball: the answer could also be rubber

    Love Liane Hansen. Don't love Will Shortz.
    Will, there is no such word as "tamale" yet it keeps appearing in N.Y.Times crosswords. The correct word is "tamal."

    • @dabeamer42
      @dabeamer42 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      My dog's not in your fight, but I think Will would reply that it's in the dictionary, so it's grist for the puzzle. Your (seasoned) beef is with the dictionary makers, not Mr. Shortz.

      @@dabeamer42 Seasoned beef = good one. I have to admit that so long as that is the standard rule no amount of objection will matter. I grew up in the Southwest so I knew what a tamal was. No one would have ever said "tamale" for one -- that would have sounded ignorant. Like President Ford trying to eat one with the shuck on.
