Ask Me Another is an hour-long program that blends brainteasers and local pub trivia night with comedy
and music. Host Ophira Eisenberg invites in-studio guests and listeners alike to stretch their thinking,
tickle their funny bones, and enjoy witty banter and guitar riffs from house musician Jonathan
Coulton. Listeners can play along as Eisenberg puts questions to a rotating band of puzzle gurus, audience
members and special mystery guests, who then take a turn in the contestant's chair facing trivia games
written especially for him or her. Ask Me Another is recorded live at The Bell House in Brooklyn, NY.
