    It's one of those fantasy questions that gets batted around when "Who would you want at your fantasy dinner party?" has been wrung dry: what would you spend the money on if you won the lottery? Except one questioneer has actually done it, and now they need to figure out what to spend the money on in a way that doesn't tip anyone off that they won the lottery. Plus, questioneers want to know: what do pretzels mean, when did sports winners start kissing trophies, who had the incredible idea to make biscuits into spread, what do you do with your late spouse's underpants, and how to do you stop being given gifts of toe socks.

Helen, Olly and Martin created a podcast phenomenon from 2007 to 2021. They answered questions you always wanted to know the answers to and some you never thought of asking. With adult humour and often strong language, this is for a more mature audience.. however most episodes are suitable for older teenage ears. If you want pure entertainment on your journey or just to sit back and relax, this is the podcast you want to be binging the wealth of previous episodes. Fans of answer me this were devastated when the three decided to quit, But Olly continues today with many different podcasts including the Modern Mann and the Retrospectors. fans of Answer Me This, still hope that one day it may return.

Answer Me This, is the 'Must Listen To' Podcast.
