Today In History with The Retrospectors

Retrospectors Quiz of the Year 2024


Listen Later

How many nickels did the first Automat take in 1902? What does ‘Opus Dei’ mean in Latin?

And what WAS the title of the novelty song released by the Jamaican bobsled team in 1988? 


It’s Arion vs. Rebecca in our fourth annual Retrospectors Quiz of the Year! Over festive drinks and listener feedback, Olly puts them to the test in this fiendishly difficult quiz - fiendishly difficult, that is, unless you’ve been listening to our show this year… in which case you will obviously know ALL the answers.


That’s it for another year of great Retrospecting: we’ll be back with new episodes from Monday 6th January, 2025. Thanks for listening, and happy holidays!
