The winner doesn't get one of these...

The thirty-ninth episode of the Yes Music Podcast featuring the results of the 1st Yes Music Podcast Quiz.

In a change to the normal format of episodes, here are the answers to the questions in the quiz, some of the more interesting answers and the announcement of the winner!

I also take a few moments to talk about the aspects of the podcast I usually skip through.

 

Thanks so much to everyone who either enjoyed reading the questions in the quiz or actually entered. It was a lot of fun watching the answers coming in.

I hope the winner enjoys the small prize when it arrives at their house! (It won't be a big cup like in the illustration.)
