This message comes from Scholastic with the new novel El Nino, an entrancing adventure from beloved and award-winning author of Esperanza Rising, Pam Munoz Ryan. Jason Reynolds calls it a brilliant amalgamation of myth, nature, sport, and loss. I've never read anything like it. El Nino is available wherever books are sold.
From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, the NPR News Quiz. I'm the voice so peanut buttery it comes in chunky and smooth. I'm Bill Curtis. And here's your host at the Studebaker Theatre at the Fine Arts Building in Chicago, Illinois, Peter Sagal.
Thank you so much, Bill. Thank you, everybody. Good to see you again. Thank you. We do have a great show for you today. Later on, we're going to be talking to one of the stars of The White Lotus, Natasha Rothwell, who plays Belinda. Now, to refresh your memory, she's not the one who committed murder or the other murder or money laundering or adultery.
She just does a little blackmail, which on that show makes her a saint. We want to know what you've been up to behind the scenes, so give us a call. The number is 1-888-WAIT-WAIT. That's 1-888-924-8924. Now let's welcome our first listener contestant this week. Hi, you're on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. Hi, I'm Chris Schoen, and I live on a farm near Cedar Rapids, Iowa. That's fabulous.
So you're actually in an Iowa farm. You know, I remember vividly the first time I ever went to Iowa many, many years ago and seeing a farm and thinking, oh my gosh, every time I saw a farm when I was a kid looking at a picture book, I was looking at that. So you live in like the perfect farm, right?
It is. It is. It's like Grant Wood country here. Very, very picturesque.
Right. And you just stand in front of it all day holding a pitchfork.
Yeah, yeah. Me and my pitchfork and my wife.
Okay. Very good. Very good. Well, Chris, welcome to the show. Let me introduce you to our panel this week. First, she's a comedian headlining at the DC Improv July 11th through the 13th. It's Joelle Nicole Johnson.
