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?

Where do all the comedians go after the Melbourne Comedy Festival is over?

The Sydney Comedy Festival, of course.

This week, two of the nominees for Best Newcomer at MICF test their knowledge of worldwide coffee production, flag colours and geometry. Freddie McManus and Andrew Hamilton can both be seen at the Sydney Comedy Festival here:

The Melbourne International Comedy Festival is in full swing, so Kirsty Webeck and Cal Wilson are back on the podcast for another go.

Kirsty's festival show is called "A Bit Of Fun" and that's exactly what she brings to the quiz. Cal has chosen to name her show "Supposably", but the mispronunciation is no reflection of her skills at trivia.

Glenn was on the podcast quite recently, and I don’t normally have repeat appearances so soon, but since he promised he could drag Paul McDermott onto the show, I couldn't possibly say no. I have genuinely been a fan of Paul's for decades - ever since I witnessed his tightly bound energy and heard his angelic voice as one third of The Doug Anthony Allstars.

WARNING: This is a longer than normal episode and there is a bit of language and some adult concepts... so might not be one for the whole family.

The Melbourne International Comedy Festival has just opened, so joining John on this episode are two comedians with shows they’d like listeners to this podcast to come along and see.

Stephen Hall's festival show is called 'Letters From My Heroes' which critics are calling “a convenient way of stringing together a bunch of celebrity impressions.”

And Adam Rozenbachs is making his first appearance on this show, but is no stranger to the world of podcasts - hosting his own AFL podcast JunkTime. His festival show is called High Functioning Idiot
