Host Stephen J. Dubner will bring to the stage the same kind of factual, inquisitive journalism that has been a hallmark of his weekly show, but in an unscripted, unpredictable format — with the most entertaining, enlightening conversations you’re likely to hear. He will be joined by co-host Angela Duckworth, author of Grit and a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, plus a real-time human fact-checker.

Guests will come on stage and try to wow Dubner and Duckworth with a fascinating fact, historical wrinkle, new line of research — anything, really, as long as it’s interesting, useful, and true (or at least true-ish, as determined by the evening’s fact-checker). At the end of the evening, the live audience will vote to determine the winning guest.
