You'll catch NPR's sharpest news quiz show live at The Studebaker Theater in The Loop—expect the kind of rapid-fire wit and unexpected tangents that make the broadcast magic, amplified by a room full of people equally obsessed with current events and terrible puns. The energy is pure controlled chaos: panelists riffing, audience laughing, the whole thing crackling with that "anything could happen" feeling you only get at a live taping. Tickets run $25, all ages welcome, and the chemistry between the hosts and crowd makes it worth planning around.
