Dactyls
[edit]I just changed "Dactls" to "Dactyls" - although I have no "printed proof" of this spelling, I can't imagine why they wouldn't be using the correct spelling of the root they are making a joke about. I may return and add a bit more info about the show in time (other games, occasional guest panelists, locations outside of Boston, new amusing names for the house bands, etc.) human 23:41, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
Yes, your spelling of Dactyls is correct.
I'm too lazy update this page (sorry) but whoever is doing an update might want to include that Says You! is taped basically nation-wide now, not just in Boston. Also, Says You! is planning on/is now independent. Therefore not being distributed through NPR. Someone may want to check the claim on that before updating the article, but it's something to consider.
It's an awesome show. It really is.
I added the intern of Says You! to the page. He doesn't seem to be going away.
References and Updating
[edit]I really want to dig into this article and rewrite it, make it more "up to date" (describe the move from two 30 minute shows/week to one one hour show, mention the ever-changing musical acts, etc.), but I fear there is no way to do so without it being original research. I will have to search the web (at least) for article about the show. otherwise, the only sources we have are the show's website and the OR of being a listener.
Surely the show is notable, the hard part is making that obvious in the article (besides it's being syndicated by NPR), and figuring out a way to describe it better using references. human 19:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
If anyone has time or wants to add in something about the musicians from Says You!, a bunch of past musicians are listed on a somewhat hidden page on the website, at http://www.saysyou.org/secondary/music.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.60.164.64 (talk) 22:26, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
If anyone wants to make the page more up-to-date, we here at "Says You!" are all for it... we just don't have the time to make it happen. As Richard sometimes says, we're overworked and underpaid :-) 24.60.164.64 (talk) 01:58, 19 July 2008 (UTC) Zach Moore
Dear Zach,
- Please be aware that people directly involved with the show really should not edit the article about the show -- That is the weird Wikipedia way! Whatever suggestions y'all have for improving the article, you might want to put here on the talk page...

- One thing that should be added are the other panelists who appear with varying regularity. I find it odd that the saysyou.net website never mentions them - that Murray guy is on a lot, and once in a while they have Al Dershowitz (?) on. Huw Powell (talk) 22:04, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
- Almost three years later... the Says You! website is awful. So many guest panelists and panelists who were around for ages are not mentioned, the website seems to be frozen in 1999. Huw Powell (talk) 03:33, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
- Wow, I swear, eighteen seconds later, I can now see more than the original six at the "who's who" page! Excellent! Huw Powell (talk) 03:41, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Just an FYI to the people updating the Wikipedia page, we are no longer carried through Audible.com and thus do not (currently) offer podcast subscriptions. We are in the process of seeking a new company to distribute a podcast, but until then... we are podcast-less. :( 24.60.160.122 (talk) 17:36, 18 June 2010 (UTC)Zach Moore
- Thank you very much for telling us that. I've removed that sentence. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:09, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, thank you indeed. Huw Powell (talk) 19:45, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
NPR?
[edit]If it "is not an NPR program" (second sentence) why is there a "from NPR" in the logo? This should be clarified. -- 76.204.101.11 (talk) 13:08, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
- Good point. I've clarified that, based on the show's website indicating that it is carried by NPR but independently produced. --Tryptofish (talk) 17:07, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
