Sunday Puzzle: So-so

NO BUT ACTUALLY THOUGH FIRST NPR HOST AYESHA RASCOE AND THIS WYPR LISTENER KATHERINE JAKUTA OUT OF BALTIMORE MARYLAND GOT TOGETHER AND THEN THEY WENT AND PLAYED THE SUNDAY PUZZLE WITH WEEKEND EDITION PUZZLE MASTER WILL SHORTZ WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE THE WHOLE PIECE IS JUST TITLED SO-SO AND THAT IS BASICALLY ALL THE INFORMATION WE GET AND THE THING IS WE DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHO WON OR WHAT THE QUESTIONS WERE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT EXPLAIN IT IN THE CLIP SUMMARY WHICH MEANS WILL SHORTZ AND AYESHA RASCOE JUST BROUGHT ON A BALTIMORE LISTENER TO DO A PUZZLE ON AIR AND CALLED IT SO-SO WHICH IS INCREDIBLY FUNNY TO ME AND I LOVE THAT FOR THEM. ANYWAY, ABSOLUTE SCENES.

OK THIS IS THE LAST ONE I SWEAR BUT THE FACT THAT NPR CALLED THIS WHOLE SEGMENT SO-SO MADE ME PUT MY DRINK STRAIGHT DOWN ON THE BAR BECAUSE PUZZLE MASTER WILL SHORTZ HIMSELF WAS RIGHT THERE ON WEEKEND EDITION WITH AYESHA RASCOE PLAYING THE SUNDAY PUZZLE AND THEY BROUGHT ON KATHERINE JAKUTA WHO LISTENS TO WYPR IN BALTIMORE MARYLAND AND THE THING IS THEY GAVE US ZERO CONTEXT FOR WHY IT IS CALLED SO-SO WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE DID WILL SHORTZ JUST THINK THE PUZZLE PERFORMANCE WAS MEDIOCRE OR WAS THAT THE THEME OF THE ENTIRE WORD GAME AND NOBODY EXPLAINS IT AT ALL WHICH MEANS WE ARE JUST SITTING HERE WONDERING IF KATHERINE FROM BALTIMORE GOT ROASTED ON NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO BY THE CROSSWORD GUY AND NOW I CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. OK I NEED A MINUTE, THAT WAS A LOT.

NPR's Ayesha Rascoe and WYPR listener Katherine Jakuta of Baltimore played the 'So-so' puzzle with Weekend Edition puzzle master Will Shortz.
