Whad'Ya Know? is a one-hour comedy/quiz/interview show distributed by PRI, Public Radio International. Regular elements of every program include a Whad'Ya Know? quiz, host and quiz-master Michael Feldman's foray into the studio audience to chat with fans, and banter with sidekick Jim Packard. During the quiz, Feldman invites callers and audience members to test their knowledge from five categories drawn from his seemingly limitless store of insignificant (but also somehow, important) information.
Madison Shows
When broadcasting from his home-base of Madison, Wisconsin, Feldman opens each broadcast with "All the News That Isn't," a brief monologue filled with his entertaining brand of political and social satire. The program also includes "Thanks for the Memos," actual memos sent in from actual listeners. In addition, an unsuspecting resident of a "Town of the Week" is surprised by a call from the man many outstaters call "The Sage of Wisconsin."
Road Shows
When taking the show "on the road," which Feldman does 8–10 times each year, the program guests and features reflect the hosting community. "All The News That Isn't" takes on a local flair, as do Feldman's interviews with celebrities and regular folks native to the area. Often local musicians complete the guest line-up for these fan-favorite "road shows."
