Are you a very unintelligent child? Of COURSE you are. All you children have soft, squashy brains which don't work very well. It's well known by clever adults that you kids know NOTHING. After all, how many kids have won the Nobel Prize for Genetics? NONE.
But don't cry because you won't be unedumacated for much longer. Carrie Quinlan (a VERY clever grown-up) and Andy Stanton (who is also a VERY clever grown-up, thank you, actually) are here to educate the world's children and answer their soft, squashy brain questions using GROWN-UP KNOWLEDGE. It's time to....Ask The Nincompoops!
Today it's the turn of youngsters MICHAEL and KATHERINE to be informed and educated by two very clever adults. And boy, there was a lot they didn't know. Not a surprise (they're children, they know absolutely nothing) but it's still disappointing when you see it with your own eyes.
This podcast is suitable for all the family!
If you have a question you want these two geniuses to ask, just send it, with your name and age, to [email protected] - and we'll try to answer them in an upcoming episode!

For the first time in human history, the tremendously clever grown-ups Andy Stanton (a bearded man behind the beloved Mr Gum books) and Carrie Quinlan (an unbearded woman who comes out of your radio) will be sharing the vast knowledge they've gained during their lifetimes with some children who, frankly, know nothing. Honestly, joking apart, these kids are almost shamefully ignorant. I blame the parents.
Armed with five questions, every episode sees two children being informed and educated by Carrie (a clever grown-up) and Andy (who is also a clever grown-up.) So if you want to know why maths is so boring (if it even is), why Pepsi is called Pepsi, and whether this the best podcast you'll ever hear (the answer to the last one is 'yes', you can have that for free), then it's time for you to....Ask The Nincompoops!

This podcast is suitable for all the family! With the exception of Grandad, who will probably find it too "new-fangled" because it's a podcast. Sure, you've explained to him that it's just radio on-demand, but even that seems to go over his head. Why not just set him up with a sherry and try and keep him away from us, yeah? Thanks.

Reviewers call the show ‘amazing,” ‘so good”, and “the best podcast on Planet Earth.” Even the ACTUAL REAL newspaper FOR CLEVER ADULTS, The Guardian, said it's "hilariously surreal...a child-friendly twist on Vic-and-Bob."
Picked as one of the BEST PODCASTS FOR CHILDREN by The Huffington Post, The Guardian's BEST PODCASTS FOR KIDS, and a British Podcast Award nominee for BEST FAMILY PODCAST.
