Says You! - A Quiz Show for Lovers of Words, Culture, and History is an iconic radio game from PRX. The show aired on local public radio stations for almost 25 years before its cancellation in 2021. The podcast is a collection of some of the producers' favorite episodes.

The contestants tape the show before a live audience. A live local jazz band provides musical interludes. There are two teams of three panelists each. They must untangle word puzzles and answer trivia questions. Richard Sher was the creator and original host of Says You! After his death, the job of host went to Barry Nolan, Gregg Porter, and Dave Zobel.

The questions that the panelists answer are relevant to the season and region. At Halloween, they guess the fastest-ever pumpkin-carving time. Near the Brattleboro Speedway, they determine the origin of the term "Darlington stripe." Two of the rounds of Says You! are word games. In "Bluff the Listener," two panelists guess the meaning of a word, while one has the definition. The other team must decide which one is right. The other round is less structured. Panelists must guess the meanings of words that share a semantic family.

Throughout, the host encourages audience participation. The scoring bell seems to have its own opinions about the answers. The panelists break out into song every few minutes. The result is an atmosphere of boisterous fun. Listening to the podcast feels like being at a noisy holiday party with dear friends.

For many, Says You! - A Quiz Show for Lovers of Words, Culture, and History is the soundtrack to a quiet Saturday night. Older listeners may delight in revisiting episodes where Sher is the host. New listeners might enjoy the show's latest format, which emphasizes silliness over factuality. Either way, the show's longevity is a testament to its quality. Most anyone will come away with a collection of useless trivia and many good laughs.
