Most of the guests I have on this podcast do silly and frivolous jobs like telling jokes or pretending to be other people for a living. Jono Brand and Amanda McGregor are a little bit different. They still tell jokes and pretend to be other people - but they use their silliness and frivolity as a force for good by helping sick kids cope with the uncertainty and worry of hospital and treatment in the guise of Captain Starlight.

For over 30 years the Starlight Children’s Foundation has used play, social connection and creativity to support children and young people in some of their toughest times and to positively change their healthcare experience.

WARNING: The bit of trivia Victoria shares might be a little much for anyone a bit squeamish!

This episode sees the return of one of our favourite guests, Virginia Gay. This time she has brought along a fellow cabaret queen Victoria Falconer Pritchard.

Most of the answers are hidden away in the dark recesses of their minds, but they manage to drag them out into the light - even the sports question!

Last time he was on the podcast, James was teamed with his wife Miranda Tapsell and he didn't do that well. This time he's joined by journalist and author Elfy Scott - who he is not married to, but together they set out to defend monogamy and answer general knowledge questions ranging from flower colours to English Premier League teams - with many diversions in between.

Gareth has been on the podcast before and shares exactly the same piece of trivia at the top of the show, but first-timer Megan Drury brings an interesting new bit of knowledge.

They are both appearing in “Benefactors” at the Ensemble Theatre, a play that explores what it is to be human in a statistically driven world, and delves into the motivations that drive us to help others, and the consequences of doing so.

During the pandemic lockdowns in Melbourne, Michelle Brasier wanted to buy a pilates reformer machine and she found a bargain on Facebook Marketplace. The trouble was that the person selling the reformer was less that scrupulous. She has turned what happened next into a show. “Reform” is the story of one woman’s unlikely relationship with an online scammer. In it, Michelle stars as herself and her real life partner Tim Lancaster takes on the role of the scammer.

Audiences can see them at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival on June 9th and 11th.

The Kates, McLennan and McCartney were the very first guests on this podcast and it's taken all this time to get them back on the quiz because they have been otherwise very busy making a tv show. "Deadloch" is a feminist comedy thriller that puts a high-comedy spin on the crime genre and questions Australia’s relationship with truth, gender, and race. It will be available to stream exclusively on Amazon Prime from June 2.

Nancy Denis and Aaron Tsindos are both actors appearing in the Ensemble Theatre’s Australian premiere production of the Tony Award nominated play, “Clyde’s” which is set in a roadside diner in the United Sates, at which ex-cons fantasise about making the perfect sandwich. But does that mean they're any good at trivia?

Do they know what the 'I' stands for in GIF?

Do they know what an empanada is?

And how much do they know about the metal mercury?
