I Got That One!

In this week's episode, we see Britain's oldest conservatoire, the Royal Academy of Music, face the fifth Cambridge college to compete this series, St John's! How will a team of skilled musicians fare against natural scientists and historians? Have a listen for our thoughts on what makes a good captain, the perils of over-specialization, and the fact that 'Seinfeld' aired very much before most of these contestants were even born. Stay tuned till the end for our best-dressed segment.

We teased it, and here it is! Due to some schedule issues that would push our normal episode back, we have for you a special interview with the current Imperial team captain Michael Kohn.

We had a lovely conversation about their first outing back in episode 4, the selection process for the Imperial team, the nerves of being on national television, and a special message at the end that some viewers really need to hear. All in all, We would say it's worth a listen.

Episode 10 of I Got That One! is now out and oof...was this a bloodbath! Have a listen to find out what we thought about this week's match and our theories on how past famous contestants can have an effect on current ones. We also talk about classical music in Murakami novels and short films that became feature-length movies, and of course, our pick for this week's best-dressed quizzer! Stay tuned to the end for an extra special announcement!
Yvonne would also likely to apologise for mispronouncing Carvosso around the 5:29 mark!

It's time for Episode 9 of our University Challenge Appreciation Podcast - I Got That One! This week's match sees two young teams from York and King's, London. Listen now to find out if we though these teams have what it takes to make it far in the competition. We also talk about Motown music, Charles Dickens novels that are certainly not Martin Chuzzlewit and a rather unthinkable number of ducks. Stay tuned till the end for our famed best dressed segment.

Time for Episode 8, and the personalities keep on coming! Hear our thoughts about St Andrews' Tom Sherlock and Max Holtzman, an intriguing gold earring and a pair of broken glasses. As the competition heats up, we talk about teams we'd like to see play against each other and the qualities needed to see a team through to the finals. We also talk about musicals, french painters and German towns and states! Stay tuned to the end for our best-dressed segment.

Episode 7 is here, and joy of joys, we have our first true blue University Challenge personality in the form of Seoan Webb of Corpus Christi Oxford! We talk about how much Webb shone in this episode, and Tom tries to convince us that it was not a case of a single contest carrying a team. We also talk about Female Rap artists nominated for the Grammys, working cities in the UK, and cathedrals of England. We also see the return of our best-dressed segment.

Editor's note: Tom meant to say Corpus Christi was getting complacent at 6:38, not Bristol. We hope that just like Paxman, you'll accept that!

Episode 6 of this season's University Challenge is once again here, and this time it's a real nail-biter between two of the oldest colleges in the UK. With a combined age of 1451, these institutions are the purest example of Oxbridge Pedigree.

Unlike their respective institutions, the teams are on the younger side, with an average age of 24 and 23 for Balliol and Clare respectively. Who comes out on top in this latest iteration of the Oxbridge competition? Listen with us and find out.

Also making an appearance this week: A new mysterious segment!

Episode 5 is here, this time bringing us two senior teams. Reading University, with an average age of 37, faces off against Birkbeck, whose average age of 49 makes them the second oldest team in this season. With this equal paring, who will come out on top? Listen on and find out!

Editorial note: the title is a quote from the episode, not a comment about anything.

We are on to episode 4, both of this podcast and series 50 of University Challenge. This time we see the returning champions Imperial arrive with one of the youngest and most international teams in the competition thus far, with an average age of just 19! Facing them is the University of Strathclyde, with an average age of 29 and an overwhelmingly Glaswegian makeup. Does this year's Imperial live up to the astronomical standards set by Brandon and gang of season 49? How well do the teams know Atlanta-based hip hop and rap? Join us to find out.

We are back once again for the third round of the 2020/2021 University Challenge series. This time, we have a real contrast of a competition between Open University, the largest UK university, and Linacre College, one of the smallest post-grad colleges of Oxford University. With an average age of 52, will Open's team win out against Linacre? The answer might well surprise you.
