Book description
Answer Me This! (http://answermethispodcast. com/) is a weekly
interactive comedy podcast, presented by Helen Zaltzman and Olly Mann.
In each show Helen and Olly answer listener-submitted questions, as
diverse and fantastical as "Why does golf bring out the worst in
people?", "Who invented the scotch egg?" and "Why
do all girls hate me?" In the Answer Me This! Question
Compendium, Helen and Olly bring their trademark irreverence to the
page for the first time in an inventive and witty spin on the classic
Q&A format. Since its debut in January 2007, Answer Me This! has
been chosen as an iTunes Podcast of the Year in 2008, and in 2009
became the first independently produced podcast to be nominated for a
Sony Radio Academy Award. With listeners all over the world, and more
than 1. 5 million downloads per year, the show is now one of the most
popular comedy podcasts in Britain.
Helen Zaltzman has written for 'The Now Show' and appeared in
Radio 4's 'Transatlantic' with Rory Bremner. She appears live as part
of Robin Ince's Book Club and School for Gifted Children, and with
Edinburgh comedy award-winner Josie Long. Olly Mann has worked as a TV
producer-director, with credits including 'The Culture Show', ITV's
'The London Programme' and, for Yahoo! Video, the online comedy series
'Get Your Island On'. In 2006, Olly compiled the world's first play to
be based on real people's blogs, 'Bloggers: Real Internet Diaries'
