Answer Me This!

Answer Us Back: scab library


Listen Later

Hello! Welcome to this month's edition of Answer Us Back, featuring your responses to and observations upon past episodes of AMT. Today:

  • Responding to AMT417’s collection of lost teeth, Dan from Sydney makes us wonder why there is a tooth fairy but no toenail fairy. Which body part would you choose to be the fairy of?

  • Max in New Jersey responds to AMT418’s question about Jersey Shore filming in bars, having worked at a bar while Jersey Shore filmed in it. Also, have a care in this pivot-to-video era for we audiomakers, who do not wanna be on camera.

  • Also responding to the Jersey Shore filming in bars with music question, Matt the dialogue editor chips in with his insider knowledge about the reality of music use and shooting dancing scenes. And Olly completely forgot that he too has insider knowledge, having himself been a dancing extra in a film!

  • Dale in Truckee, California heard the AMT416 question about what to do with the suit from one’s wedding after the marriage has ended, and has an engagement ring to deal with post-breakup.

  • And Rob in Durham has a question arising from maybe every AMT ever: did either of us ever try a career in stand-up comedy?

    If AMTs 1-418 left you with lingering questions and opinions, share them with 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 AMT419 will be in your podfeed on 25 June 2026.
