Information Please
Moe Berg, Oscar Levant
by
Information Please is a lively quiz and conversation program built around questions from listeners and the quick-witted panelists who try to answer them. The format brings together knowledge, humor, and spontaneous repartee, with host Clifton Fadiman guiding the exchange.
Rather than unfolding as a drama, the program turns curiosity into entertainment: questions can range across literature, history, science, and popular culture, giving the panel room to show both what they know and how cleverly they can respond. The pleasure lies in the interplay as much as in the answers, as confident expertise meets playful teasing and occasional uncertainty.
This broadcast features baseball player Moe Berg and pianist and composer Oscar Levant among its guests. Their contrasting backgrounds add to the program’s conversational appeal, making it a distinctive blend of intellectual quiz, celebrity conversation, and polished radio wit.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
