This message comes from NPR sponsor Sony Pictures Classics. I'm Still Here from filmmaker Walter Salas is the true story of one family's resilience when a dictatorship attempts to tear them apart. Led by a Golden Globe winning performance by Fernanda Torres, now playing Select Cities. From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, the NPR News Quiz.
Filling in for Bill Curtis, I'm the voice so buttery you need extra napkins. Chioki, I answer. And here's your host at the Studebaker Theater at the Fine Arts Building in Chicago, Illinois, Peter Sagal. Thank you, Chioki. Thank you, everybody. Yes, it's great to see you two.
Thank you. Great to be with you. We have a fabulous show for you all today. Later on, we're going to be talking to the musician MXM Tune, who has become hugely popular performing her music online. Basically, she is to the internet what Bruce Springsteen is to New Jersey. And we want to hear your hits, so give us a call and play our games. The number is 1-888-WAIT-WAIT. That's 1-888-924-8924.
Let's welcome our first listener contestant. Hi, you're on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. Hi, this is Daniel calling from St. Paul, Minnesota. I love St. Paul, one of my favorite places. We have some people who came down for the warmth of Chicago.
What do you do there? I'm a plant biology PhD student here at the University of Minnesota, which I was delighted to hear shouted out last week by Rose Matafeo.
Yes, Rose Matafeo, our guest, became an accidental supporter of the University of Minnesota, where she wore one of your shirts on her TV special. Is everybody at the University of Minnesota talking about that? Is just the buzz of the campus?
Well, I'm a PhD student, and I work with professors, and we all obviously listen to NPR, so some of them are.
Right, exactly. But basically what you're saying is you're a PhD plant biology student. You don't talk to anybody.
He talks to his plants. Exactly.
