Monday August 15, 1 - 2 pm: The Best Radio Quiz Show Since Sliced Bread

TBRQSSSB is a quiz about English idioms -- those phrases that behave like a word. A show like this is as scarce as hen's teeth. This is a whole new ballgame (though no ball is involved), and you've never seen anything like it in our neck of the woods. TBRQSSSB is no flash in the pan, either. We expect it to last until the cows come home. Our guests: Enoch Pratt library director Carla Hayden, sports-at-large commentator Milton Kent, Peabody Institute humanities instructor Elizabeth Archibald,"Grammar Girl" Mignon Fogarty and John Ayto, editor of the Oxford Dictionary of English Idioms.

Original airdate: 3/24/11
