Today was Who Knew Wednesday on the Afternoon Drive, and since April is Decorating Month, we decided to spend the show talking about DIY tips and tricks!

You can find all the tips we shared and more by clicking here, here, here, and here.

Our Word of the Day was mithridate, a noun meaning an antidote against poison. You can read more on that here.

Today’s trivia question was:

It’s the first of February – what are you looking forward to this month?

The start of election season? Valentine’s Day? President’s Day? The hope of more snow? Our staff is preparing for the WNZR Valentine’s Banquet on 2/12, welcoming Ohio’s Distinguished Young Women on 2/13, the annual National Religious Broadcasters’ convention starting 2/22, and an EARLY spring break starting 2/26!

Today’s Mystery Monday question: The average American lives 18 miles from what? The answer? From their MOM! Congratulations to Katie from Mount Vernon – she guessed correctly and wins a $5 gift certificate to the MVNU Cougar Corner bookstore.

Our Word of the Day is nonce, which is a noun meaning in the present moment, occasion or purpose. It’s really a Middle English word for now.

Gettys and Gherkins

Our Mystery Monday trivia question asked this: “Atkins, Arkansas is famous for selling the first what?”

The answer is a fried dill pickle. The History Channel says the first deep-fried pickle was sold at an Atkins Pickle Company festival in 1963. They’re pretty much a staple now at fairs, festivals and as an appetizer at many restaurants.

The prize today was the CD ‘In Christ Alone’ from Keith and Kristyn Getty, the amazing worship leaders from Northern Ireland. Congratulations to Tomi from Mount Vernon for winning the prize. Find out more about the Gettys here.

Our word of the day was related to the question – GHERKIN. It means a small variety of cucumber. Those baby sweet pickles…yep, those are gherkins!

Thanks for listening!
