The lively hour of puzzles, word games, and trivia is played in front of (and with) a live audience. Listeners can play along, testing their knowledge of history, geography, literature, grammar, spelling, pop culture and mathematics.  Saturdays at 1 pm.

Broadway or Bust
The 3-part series tracks America's top high school musical performers - including 2 from Georgia, vying in the ultimate competition to find the nation's best young rising stars. Part competition, part performance and part non-fiction drama, the series starts with regional theater competitions, then moves to New York City, where the "best of the best" take part in grueling drama bootcamp and then compete in the National High School Musical Theater Awards.
Premieres Sunday, September 9th at 8pm.
