Line 3:
Listeners call or send [[e-mail]]s to nominate themselves as contestants. The producers select a group of these listeners to be on the show and play games with questions based on the week's news. These games include:
* '''Who's Carl This Time?''' – The contestant must identify the speaker or explain the context of three [[quotation]]s read by [[Morning Edition]] news-reader Carl Kasell (or his substitute). Two correct answers constitute a win. (In a variation of this game, '''Carl Kasell's Countdown''', three popular songs are played and the contestant must identify the related news story.)
* '''Bluff the Listener''' – The contestant hears three stories read by the panelists and must determine the true news story from the fictional ones.
* '''Listener Limerick Challenge''' – The contestant must identify the last word or phrase in three news-related [[limerick (poetry)|limericks]] read by Carl Kasell. Two correct answers constitute a win.
