“Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me!” Host Peter Sagal in Conversation with Faith Salie

On the brink of turning 40, Peter Sagal, self-described sedentary host of the hit NPR news quiz, started running—seriously.

He kept going, and going, completing 14 marathons—including the 2013 Boston Marathon, where he crossed the finish line moments before the bombings—and running the equivalent of once around the earth. Sagan joins us to share hilarious and heartfelt experiences captured in his new The Incomplete Book of Running. With humor and candor, Sagal explores the similarities between endurance sports and sadomasochism, the bonds created between strangers, and more, offering funny and wise reflections on running and on life.

A book signing follows the event.
