Ear size chunks of trivia


What’s not to love about fascinating facts that we have all probably thought of.

Great narration from the QI elves and lots of kids asking the questions.

Great format and interesting

The questions have relatively short answers and the narrator/answerer alternates between male and female with the odd bit of humour so there is no chance of getting bored. Great for kids I am sure but I am 60 and also enjoyed it

I expected this to be boring and maybe just for kids but it’s really interesting, yes a lot is obvious but a lot u think oh yeah never thought about that or oh I wondered about that or oh I’ll believed that myth
Will be purchasing the first one at some point if it goes on offer as was this one

Bite size learning you can recite in the pub

I never get bored of what the QI Elves find out. Love it as always. Not always useful knowledge in day to day life but there will be a time when I need to know about winning a ‘lifetime’ supply of something (always read the small print!).
Look forward to more books! If you enjoyed this one always worthwhile reading the books from the ‘No Such Thing As A Fish’ podcast who are also the QI Elves.

Quite Interesting

I really enjoyed listening to this and found myself many time going "hmm quite interesting" if you like odd facts and interesting things I will be surprised if you don't find this one interesting. Very enjoyable.
