Information Please is a lively radio quiz program built around questions from listeners and the quick-witted answers of its expert panel. On this broadcast, the named guests are actor Basil Rathbone and music authority Sigmund Spaeth, joining the program’s regular panelists in a contest of knowledge and repartee.
The questions range across subjects such as literature, history, science, and the arts, giving the panel room to show both what they know and how cleverly they can respond. The format mixes genuine expertise with playful banter, as the panelists tackle challenging queries and the host keeps the exchange moving.
Its appeal lies in the combination of intellectual curiosity and easygoing comedy: listeners can test themselves against the questions while enjoying the personalities and spontaneous wit around the table. Rathbone and Spaeth bring distinctive perspectives to a program where learning and entertainment go hand in hand.
