A new archive is dedicated to preserving the history of the TV game show. We talk with the curator about the stories and artifacts he’s after. We also find out how accepting that we’ll never get all our work done can help us be better time managers.

Featured in this Show

  • The history of the game show

    The Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, NY announced it will be the home of a new National Archive of Game Show History. We talk to a museum expert about game shows past and present and ask you to share your memories of watching them or even being a participant.

  • In a world of finite time, why are so many of us so bad at managing it?

    We have limited time to live — approximately 4,000 weeks if you live to be 80 — on this planet, so time management is important. We talk with the author of a new book about how to manage your time, beyond cranking out as many work tasks as possible or meal prepping, to make the most of our finite time.
