Answer Me This! Podcast

Hello there, old-timers! And new-timers! And egg-timers. If you could just stop timing things for just two seconds (plus a further thirty minutes and twenty seconds), perhaps you could listen to Answer Me This! Episode 76. Just click below:

And just before you resume your stop-watches, here are some of the things under discussion this week:

Bergerac
Dawson’s Creek
the indefatigable constitution of Jack Bauer
Dutch cartographers
Abel Tasman
space-hoppers
Steve Guttenberg
Bilbo Baggins’s holiday home
Alan Fletcher
Holly Hunter’s jugs
and
fascinators.

Plus, Olly gets flag envy; Helen is thankful that she had no disposable income when she was five; and Martin the Sound Man is all rock’n'roll from the waist down. Ugh. We also celebrate the fact that someone finally fell for one of Olly’s get-rich-quick schemes! Well done, Mark from Essex, for taking Olly’s vision and making it reality.

If any of the rest of you fancy doing that, or merely want to send us a QUESTION as usual, get in touch by Skypeing answermethis, phoning 0208 123 5877 or emailing answermethispodcast@googlemail.com. Following our contemplation of one of David’s questions at the end of the episode, this week we’re particularly keen for you to leave a comment on the website detailing your most expensive and embarrassing piece of clothing. Preferably with pictorial evidence. Don’t be shy!

See you next week,

Helen and Olly

Hello there, dear chums,

Things get pretty heated in Episode 75 of Answer Me This!. It must be a pretty important issue to cause an altercation between us, right? Well, what could be a more inflammatory topic than whether or not Fantasia is dull? Click below to listen to the episode, and remember to nod or shake your head at the appropriate junctures.

Aside from Fantasia, topics of conversation include:
Aristocats
Interpol
Olly’s mum’s hat collection
Martin’s dad’s head collection
bready drinks
Cole Porter
Four Weddings and a Funeral
Lord Admiral Nelson
Gyles Brandreth
Sebastian Horsley
Oscar Wilde’s podcast
Children in Need vs. Help the Aged
Mary Poppins
gunmetal grey
and
bee wangs.

Plus, Olly describes his early forays into Amsterdam-style theatricals; Helen worries about a poorly punctuated epitaph; and Martin the Sound Man suggests leaving the poor ickle kiddies to fend for themselves. What a hard-hearted rotter! Pudsey Bear is patrolling the streets looking for him right now, to give him a good piece of his mind.

And while he’s doing that, why don’t you give US a piece of YOUR mind by sending us a QUESTION? You can Skype answermethis, phone 0208 123 5877 or email answermethispodcast@googlemail.com; or you could just ululate into the wind and hope for the best. It’s not as reliable a method as the others, though. Thank goodness for the communication opportunities offered by technology.

See you next week!

Hello dear listeners,

Of course this week saw a New Dawn, and all over the world change is sprouting through the ground like the year’s first snowdrops…except at Answer Me This!, where Episode 74 sticks to the old formula of smut, gubbins and half-brained fact. Vote with your mouse and click to hear it:

Maintaining the status quo are such topics as:

Donkey Punch
Californian lavatories
licentious Space Mountain
elephant-flavoured Fanta
Big Ben vs. Centrepoint
Ben Adams (both solo and in A1)
pre-natal boozing
sock fetishes
HMS Victory
marriage-wrecking
and
Aphex Twin.

Plus, Martin the Sound Man tells why you should always doubt news stories based on reports and statistics; Helen suggests a novel way to cover one’s face during the ‘ugly duckling’ years; Olly weaves a riveting story out of St Alban’s, Laura Ashley and his new bathroom cabinet. You wouldn’t think it could be done, would you? Well, by no means cease thinking that.

We’ll be back next week with Episode 75, so please send us YOUR QUESTIONS thus: Skype answermethis, phone 0208 123 5877 or email answermethispodcast@googlemail.com.

Seeya!

Trick or treat, listeners? Trick or treat?

Actually it doesn’t matter which you pick - we’re only going to give you Answer Me This! Episode 73 anyway. Which lacks the surprise factor, but is better than a mini-Mars bar or a rotten egg through your letterbox. Promise!

Secreted in the episode, like the razorblades hidden in the apples old Mr Scratchbastard is giving out, are such topics as:

Daniel Craig
Immac
Home Alone
Primark’s politically incorrect jimjams
Barbie vs. Metallica
Emo Phillips vs. Emu
Home Depot vs. Alton Towers
Jack Bauer vs. monuments
ovulation
Mariella Frostrup
film noir
A Bug’s Life
special macchiato
the Russian Royal Family
and
laughing gas.

Plus! Olly kindles envy with his voluptuous cleavage; Helen practices her sexy voice; and Martin the Sound Man gets ladybirds mixed up with ladyboys. Which might explain some of the pictures on his computer.

Also, if you’re interested in some of our extra-curricular activities this week, watch Olly talking about the newspapers 11.30pm Friday 31st on Sky News, or Helen talking about ping-pong robots on yesterday’s Skynews.com. If you’re not, and would prefer to send us a QUESTION or just to get in touch, please Skype answermethis, phone 0208 123 5877 or email answermethispodcast@googlemail.com.

See you next week, unless we’re all eaten by ghosts!
