About Answer Me This!

Answer Me This! is the weekly British comedy podcast from misappropriated geniuses Helen Zaltzman and Oliver Mann.

Since its debut in January 2007, it’s been a certifiable hit, getting the chattering classes chatting, and the working classes working to afford an iPod so they can discover what all the fuss is about. Probably.

But it’s not just human beings who like it - the PRESS like it too! Look, here’s some clippings:

“PODCAST OF THE WEEK!
Genuinely funny and likeable… well worth a listen”
Time Out

“PODCAST OF THE WEEK!
Many podcasts are two people wittering about random rubbish - but Helen Zaltzman and Olly Mann do it very well.”
The Times

… And all for something recorded in someone’s front room in Crystal Palace and then distributed over the Internet! The British press have gone mental, eh? They’ll be making stars out of ex-reality TV contestants, escort girls and cuckolds next.

Anyway, the show has a question and answer format, with occasional skits and sketches peppered throughout. Which might not be the most original bit of lateral thinking since John De Mol said “Hey, let’s put some nutty people in a house, barrage them with mild torture techniques and see what happens.” But, by heck, it works. And it’s flipping well interactive - you, THE AUDIENCE, get to ask the questions! How 21st century! It’s a bit like Any Answers with Jonathan Dimbleby, but not as respectable.

Helen and Olly have lent their ‘trademark’ irreverence to such diverse and fantastical questions as “Is Bremen in Germany a weird place to want to go on holiday?”, “Why do you never see the Three Musketeers with a musket?” and “Who’s your favourite serial killer of all time and why?” Look, here’s an archive of all the questions they’ve ever answered.

We’re guessing that now we’ve whetted your appetite, you’ll probably want to get listening, right?
