''Says You!'' is a weekly half-hour entertainment program distributed by National Public Radio in the United States. It was created by host Richard Sher , and is produced in Boston , Massachusetts , by Radio Station WGBH and Pipit & Finch. ''Says You!'' features a regular group of panelists divided into two teams. The team makeup varies from week to week. Rounds 1, 3, and 5 vary from week to week. Rounds consist of Word Games , Brain Teasers , Trivia and Parlor Games . Typical games include "What's the Difference?", "Odd Man Out", "What Came First?", "Melded Movies", and variations of Anagrams , Homonyms and other language games. Rounds 2 and 4 are the same game each week, known as the ''Says You!'' bluffing round. It's a variation on the popular word game Fictionary . The three members of one team are given an obscure word; one of them gets the actual definition, and the other two must bluff with fake definitions composed within a minute or so. The other team attempts to select the correct definition. Points are awarded for guessing or bluffing successfully. Listeners can submit questions for the show through its website . The program is recorded in front of live audiences at locations throughout Boston. Recordings of the show are available for a fee through audible.com . PERSONNEL
Both in its panel-game format and its literary bent, the show's debt to the BBC's now defunct '' My Word! '' is evident. |
