About this listen

 Half advice show. Half survival guide. Half absurdity-fest. (Wait, how does this work again? We're not numbers people.) Each episode, we answer all your burning questions, from how to survive a public bathroom to how to get close to a panda. When we don't know the answer, which is roughly 92% of the time (again, not numbers people), we bring in overqualified experts to help out. So you'll eventually walk away knowing how to do everything. That's what happens when you're one & a half shows. From the team at Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!Copyright 2024 NPR - For Personal Use Only

    This Thursday at 2 PM ET, Mike and Ian will open a hotline for one hour. You can hop on this Zoom call at any point, and hit them with all your "how to" questions. How do you fight a snake? How do you pick the least smelly subway car? Is this rash contagious?

    Come and go as you please. Just come with questions. See you soon!

  • Study Break with Jason Isaacs of "The White Lotus"

    Study Break with Jason Isaacs of "The White Lotus"
    Apr 9 2025
    The White Lotus season finale dropped this weekend, and we have questions. And trauma. Maybe you do too? This week, How To Do Everything's "study break" is hosting acclaimed actor Jason Isaacs AKA acclaimed Lorazepam addict Timothy Ratliff.

    How to join: save this Google document. At 12:30 PM ET (note the time change!) this Friday April 11th, we'll drop a Zoom link. The first 10 people to click on it will be in a Zoom call with Mike, Ian, Heena and Timothy Ratliff/Lucius Malfoy/Jason Isaacs.

    That gives you two days to catch up on the show. We WILL discuss spoilers. So come studied and with questions!

    In the meantime, please send us your "how to" questions! From "how do you parallel park?" to "how do you escape quicksand?" no question is too boring, outlandish or unusual. We can't make the show without you, so don't be shy! Email us at howto@npr.org.
