It's the Brian Larry Show on WNYC.

Good morning again, everyone.

So each day during the membership drive, if you've been listening, you know we've been doing a quiz in the middle of the show to have a little fun and break up the fundraising and the serious stuff. We'll wrap it up today with another

America's 250th birthday quiz with the historian Kenneth C. Davis. Once again, today it's just a

five-question quiz. Just answer one question, right, and choose between a WNYC beach towel and a Brian Laird Show baseball cap just five

questions rather than the usual 10 because our guest quiz master kenneth C davis author of the

don't know much about history series of books and other things is such an interesting explainer

about these things and we're building in time for that excellent

part of these segments. So who wants to play? Our lines are full at the moment. You can get in as

people finish up at 212-433. WNYC. Ken Davis is the author of the Don't Know Much About series of books,

including Don't Know Much About History, Don't Know Much About Geography, Don't Know Much About series of books, including Don't Know Much

About History, Don't Know Much About Geography, Don't Know Much About Mythology, Among Others, and

also of Other Books, including his most recent Great Short Books, A Year of Reading Wisely.

So, Ken, thanks for composing these three history quizzes for us. They've been great so far, and welcome back to WNYC.

It is always a pleasure to be here, Brian, and history is not dull and boring.

It can actually be a lot of fun.

Absolutely.
