Answer Me This!

Answer Us Back: 'nduja-smeared rubber glove


Listen Later

Hello! Welcome to this month's edition of Answer Us Back, full of your feedback on AMTs old and new. Today:

  • Helen's going to watch ice hockey this weekend, i.e. she'll get to see zambonis in action, per AMT415.

  • Olly got sleb-spotted when out for breakfast (hi Simon!).

  • Pete in Bloomington, Indiana, wants to know whether Kyle from Bloomington, Indiana, is still stealing olives from the olive bars of Bloomington, Indiana, like he was back in AMT305 in 2014. Well, Kyle, are you? ARE YOU???

  • Provoked by AMT402's discussion of proposals via book dedications, Emma in Canada has a real life example from her own parents of a proposal via printed text, in their case the local tabloid newspaper.

  • David from Glasgow heard us talking about the radio pip pip pips in AMT406 and explains how they use them in his work on cargo ships.

  • Amy has a tip for Olly, to end his despair from AMT402 about all the little plastic bottles containing his cholesterol-reducing Benecol.

  • We get a bit verklempt as Ricardito reminisces about what AMT meant to his late partner Stephen - including an excellent prank in AMT303.

    And along the way we learn about Olly's greatest technological fear and pragmatic marriage proposal, and Helen's parents' pugnacious proposal. 

    If you’ve been amassing thoughts about AMTs 1-415, send them to us for future episodes of Answer Us Back. And as always, send in your questions, in voicenote or written form to [email protected]. All new AMT416 will be in your podfeed 26 March.
