Few can forget where they were in September 1993 when they first heard Jeremy Hardy Speaks to the Nation. The show was an immediate smash-hit success, causing pubs to empty on a Saturday night, which was particularly astonishing since the show went out on Thursdays. Since that fateful first series, the show has gone on to win Sony awards, Writers Guild nominations and a Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

Wonderful British humor
I love listening to the 'News Quiz' on the BBC. Since I am an American, I don't always understand the references to various British public figures, but the interactions between Sandi Toksvig and her guests are always funny. The humor is timeless, which is saying a lot for a program devoted to then-current events!
