Q & A
ISBN: 000720647X
Category: Fiction, Contemporary
Keywords: quiz show, orphan, cheating
Author: Vikas Swarup
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited
Length: 6 hours and 7 min.

Description
Ram Mohammad Thomas has been arrested for answering 12 questions correctly on "Who Will Win A Billion?". Because a poor orphan who has never gone to school cannot name the smallest planet in the solar system, or the plays of Shakespeare...unless he has cheated. Ram prepares his defence by reviewing TV footage of the show, and takes us on an amazing tour of his life. From the day he is rescued from a dustbin, to his encounter with a security-crazed Australian colonel, and a spell as an over-creative guide at the Taj Mahal, Ram's survival instincts are infallible. Stunning an audience of millions, he draws on a store of street wisdom and trivia to provide him with the essential keys, not only to the quiz show, but to life itself.

Whad'Ya Know?, 12-Month Subscription
Category: Arts, Entertainment, Comedy, Satire, Podcasts, Public Radio, Radio, TV, Culture
Keywords: public radio, quiz show, satire, Monona Terrace, Whad'Ya Know, what do ya know, what ya know, What dya know, whad ya know, Whad, Know, Month, Subscription
Author: Michael Feldman
Publisher: Public Radio International
Length: 1 hour and 55 min.

Description
Michael Feldman's Whad'Ya Know? is a comedy/quiz/interview show that opens with Feldman's signature monologue of political and social satire. Feldman then invites callers and audience members to compete for "useless prizes" such as pink flamingo lawn ornaments. Contestants answer questions drawn from Feldman's seemingly limitless store of insignificant (but also somehow important) information. Other program elements include an interview with someone not making the headlines; "Thanks for the Memos", actual memos from listeners; and a visit to "The Place To Be", an unusual or interesting site selected for reasons known only to Feldman. Throughout the broadcast, listeners are treated to jazz with program regulars John Thulin and Jeff Hamman, and banter with sidekick Jim Packard.

Author: Roy Blount, Jr.
Publisher: BBC WW

Description
The show that holds a mirror up to nature and then proceeds to give it a rather embarrassing haircut. The unflappable Humphrey Lyttelton presides over panelists Tim Brooke-Taylor, Willie Rushton, Graeme Garden, and Barry Cryer who bring their own brand of wickedly improvised fun to the proceedings. It's the authentic antidote to panel games. They're game. Are you?

ISBN: 157270487X
Category: Fiction, Contemporary
Keywords: poor, poverty, india, who will win a billion, quiz show, Questions, Answers
Author: Vikas Swarup
Publisher: The Audio Partners Publishing Corp.
Length: 6 hours and 7 min.

Description
A small prison cell in India holds an 18-year-old penniless waiter from a Mumbai slum. But Ram Mohammad Thomas isn't a criminal. He is under arrest for correctly answering 12 tricky trivia questions on the show Who Will Win a Billion? Reluctant to part with the jackpot of one billion rupees, the show directors bribe the police to arrest Ram, accusing him of cheating. For how else could a poor, uneducated orphan know so much: the name of the smallest planet, global capitals, and diplomatic policy? Ram is rescued by a lawyer who draws from him the always compelling, touching, and sometimes comic story of his life, explaining the source of his knowledge. An inspired performance by reader Kerry Shale captures the spirit of this off-beat novel, a blend of high comedy and touching melancholy.
