Tell Me Something I Don’t Know is live journalism wrapped in a game-show package and hosted by Stephen J. Dubner, co-author of the Freakonomics books and host of Freakonomics Radio. Stephen has always had a mission: to tell you the things you thought you knew but didn’t; and things you never thought you wanted to know, but do. Now, he has a new way of doing just that. TMSIDK is still journalism, still factual — but disguised in the most entertaining, unexpected, and occasionally ridiculous conversation you’re likely to hear.
Guests presenters come on stage before a live audience and try to wow Stephen and his co-host(s) with a fascinating fact, a historical wrinkle, a new line of research — anything, really, as long as it’s interesting, useful and true (or at least true-ish). There’s a real-time human fact-checker on hand to sort fact from fiction.
We are looking for presenters to get up on stage and present their “I Don’t Know” — their IDK. All we ask is that it’s interesting (at least to you), worth knowing (at least a little bit), and — well, true. Also: there will be prizes!
Selected presenters will be invited to our tapings, which will be turned into podcasts. To find out when we will be coming to your area, check out our schedule of events. Submit your IDK here.
If you’d like to be part of our live audience, here is where you can get tickets to see the show.
