Hi,

I knew about Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, but the others are new to me. I
vaguely recall hearing Says You a number of years ago, but I can't seem to
find a podcast of it. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place, but from what
I've seen, they want me to buy it.

Another program some of you might like is A Way with Words. It isn't
strictly speaking a panel game. It's an hour show about words, origins,
meanings, etc with listeners calling in. The podcast quality is good and I
don't think it's part of NPR. http://www.waywordradio.org/
