Wait, Wait! It's Paula Poundstone!

Connecticut Public Radio | By Colin McEnroe

Published February 11, 2016 at 5:46 AM EST

Paula Poundstone and I started out with a plan for a short chat about her upcoming appearance in Connecticut, and then the conversation sprawled all over the place: from the comedy records of our nerdy youths, to the time she lived in Timothy Leary's guest room.

Join us and get to know this funny, serious, and eccentric woman a lot better.

See Paula Poundstone live at Foxwoods on February 19 at 8:00 pm.

GUEST:

Paula Poundstone is a comedian and regular panelist on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!

Chion Wolf and Betsy Kaplan contributed to this show.
