Think you know Philly pop culture? Test your wits against the voices of WHYY as they battle over all things Philly music, movies, history, and culture. This edition of Studio 2 ‘On the Road’ was recorded before a live audience of WHYY members at 118 North in Wayne, Pa.

Team Avi Wolfman-Arent faced-off against Team Cherri Gregg in a game-show style competition with rounds including: General Knowledge, Name That Tune, Movie Trivia, Name That Voice, Studio Feud, and Two Truths and a Lie.

Throughout the contest, our live audience in Wayne — Team WHYY Members — joined in the fun and tallied points as well. In the end, the winner of Team Avi vs. Team Cherri advanced to the finals in a lightning round against Team WHYY Members to decide the Great Philly Pop Culture Showdown champion.
