Jo Dyer and James Galea have both been on the podcast before, but this is the first time they have appeared together. They have a long working relationship and it shows with how well they compliment each other at the quiz.

James is the creator and star of the new comedy 'The Crew's Ship' which Jo produced. It is a very funny insider's account of life on a cruise ship inspired by James' experiences as a headlining magician.

If you’ve swiped past a satirical news headline in this country and it wasn’t the Betoota Advocate, there’s a good chance at least one of the guests on this episode was in some way responsible.

Dean Thomas and David Ferrier are two commercial radio voices slumming it on a quiz podcast to promote their hilarious new short animated series 'Childish Deano'.

Loosely inspired by Dean's childhood and animated by David, the series is about a rambunctious 8-year-old boy with a grown man’s voice and heart of gold. It’s for anyone who went through their childhood blissfully unaware of the challenges, prejudices and inequalities that surrounded them.

But how do they do at the quiz?

Well, a few more things fall into place than they were expecting, actually.

The guests this week are no strangers to quizzes, given that Marc Fennell hosts the tv show Mastermind, while Michael Hing is the host of Celebrity Letters and Numbers. Nor are they strangers to podcasts in general, with both of them managing to segue from podcasts to our screens with Marc transforming his award winning Stuff the British Stole into a riveting six part tv series, hitting screens on the first of November. And Michael showed his competitive spirit against his fellow Triple J host, Lewis Hobba, by participating in Australia’s Best Competition Competition which was on ABC TV Plus on Thursday, but which you can watch right now on iview.

David Strassman has been entertaining audiences and revolutionising ventriloquism for decades.

But what's his general knowledge like?

Well... motorsport isn't a strong suit. And singers born in the former country of Yugoslavia isn't something he knows a great deal about. And a children's book series set in Connecticut eludes him.

But other than that...

If you’ve watched any ABC comedy in the last few years, it’s highly likely that you’ve seen this week's guests. 

Annie Maynard played Bess on Upper Middle Bogan and Alison Bell was Audrey on The Letdown.

And if you watched Summer Love on the ABC on Wednesday night, you would’ve seen them finally getting to work together playing sisters!

This week, coming up with the answers is something of a reversal of what the guests usually do. Alex Lee normally asks the questions on the ABC quiz show “Win the Week” 

And Alexei Toliopoulos spends his time investigating the puzzles and enigmas on the “Finding” series of podcasts, the third season of which "Finding Yeezus" sees the podcast transform into a web series.

Long time listeners will recall that in July 2021 Virginia Gay and Robin Goldsworthy appeared on the podcast in anticipation of the opening night of the Melbourne Theatre Company’s production of 'Cyrano'.

Unfortunately, thanks to a snap lockdown in Melbourne, that season was cancelled at the eleventh hour.

This time, I have waited until the play has actually, definitely opened before I get them on to promote it.

Seeing it on opening night was truly one of the most exhilarating nights in the theatre I have ever experienced.

If you have the chance, I highly recommend going.

It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of Shaun Micallef’s Mad as Hell. Its fifteen seasons across ten years are some of the best political satire ever to grace our television screens.

Sadly, that all came to an end on Wednesday night when the final ever episode went to air.

But it was particularly sad for today's guests, who now find themselves slightly more unemployed than tv comedy writers usually are.

Andy Matthews and Pat McCaffrie are both writers and comedians who you should follow on twitter.
