    Welcome back!
    So dang glad my favorite trio is back in this darkest of times. They’ve taught me so much about the wider world and made me laugh countless times in the process. My favorite podcast!

    So glad to have AMT back!
    Started listening just about 6 months before they announced the end of the show, so it’s been so great to have Helen and Olly (&Martin the Sound Man) back in my ears together. I need more answers so I hope they keep going.

    Would give six stars
    The banter is amazing but the jingles and little skits are unmatched. This show is so clever, so funny, and so addictive. I also feel like i know a lot more about British culture thanks to my decade long devotion to this show. (I particularly love when Helen says something funny and Martin giggles).

    So glad I found you, however late
    I think I had been recommended the show a few years back but with most podcast reccs I just forgot. My current job is drudgery and I’m not allowed my phone for security reasons which meant no podcasts. Was able to bring the most basic MP3 player. I have the latest couple hundred episodes on it which I listen on a loop. The imaginary conversations I’ve had with the trio have been what gotten me through the day. I am forever grateful for their companionship.

    A Favorite!
    Helen, Olly and Martin make great pod. Give it a listen and make up your own mind!
  • Tek Jansen
    Love the Jingles
    Martin really carries the show, but the other two are ok I guess.

    Long time fan
    It occurred to me recently that I’ve been listening to this podcast for more than TEN YEARS! Many podcasts have come and gone in my feed but this continues to be one of my all time faves. Ages ago they answered one of my submitted questions (“Are there still unexploded WWII bombs in London?”). What a thrill! The podcast is sometimes silly - always witty and you might even learn something new! Kudos to Helen and Ollie and Martin the Sound Man for keeping it just as fresh and fun as it has always been!

    Even better then a know it all dad.
    All the answer to life's stupid questions revieled. If you like google but wish it was actually clever and had some great banter you will love this show.
  • Emmyao
    Smart AND vulgar humor is the best
    These two have a truly intelligent sense of humor and proving that smart and so vulgar is the perfect comedy combination. I’ve been listening for years and have reviewed in the past too, but still listening and still can’t wait for this show to be released.

    The best podcast of all time?

  • ZeNeece <3
    LOVE IT!!!! Brilliant!!!!
    This show is smart and sooo funny. Helen and Olly are perfect together. I just wish they could do a new episode every day. Waiting 2 weeks is tough. (but of course I understand). And Martin the Sound Man is awesome as well. I have learned so many interesting things, but the witty and intelligent banter just makes me laugh so much. I have gone back and listened to every episode as I can't get enough of them. You are awesome! :)

    Entertaining
    This show is fun due to the interaction of the hosts and variety of topics.
  • Joe_from_Seattle
    The podcast that’s good all year through
    I love this show and not just because I like to hear my own voice for a few seconds on a podcast every so often. It’s the perfect mix of occasional smart things, constant witty banter, and occasional endearingly sappy jokes. I also always look forward to new episodes of Helen’s show The Allusionist, and have enjoyed in the past listening to Brain Train, one of Martin’s podcasts. Joe in Seattle

    Great!
    This is good easy listening when you’re doing something else. I’ve been listening for years and it’s always quality pleasant content. I see you guys got a new picture! Helen, you obviously chose it bc you look pretty hot.
  • Kingery100123
    Thank god!!
    I am constantly stressed out from work! I’m always 2.5 seconds from ripping my hair out! But this show got brought up on Pop Culture Happy Hour! And I LOVE listening to British Podcasts!! So I gave it a listen and Now I can’t stop! Whenever I’m super stressed which is a lot! Obviously! I put this podcast on & I can’t laugh and relax! They are funny and witty & everything that comes out of Helens mouth it absolutely brilliant! Her husband always comes in with the funniest one liners out of No where with his monotone voice that always fills my heart with joy! And Olly Has the most beautiful voice and I have a bit of a crush on him to be honest! Yes I know a lot of this stuff can be googled but a lot of it u wouldn’t think about even asking! So why not laugh and learn at the same time!!
  • Czigot

    I am not exaggerating when I say this is the best podcast out there! I just wish they made new episodes more frequently!

    New Years Resolution: Leave Podcast Reviews
    New Years Resolution: finally leave reviews for at least your top 50 podcasts. They give you way too much free entertainment. The least you can do is leave them a quick review. New Years Reality: I listen to 50+ exceptional podcasts. I don’t have time to write that many reviews. New Years Solution: Leave this cookie-cutter review for the few(ish) podcasts you love. Only review the ones you would (or have) recommended to people in real life. Review Note: I have listened to hundreds of podcasts, this is (in my humble opinion) the best of the best. Download, enjoy, and then recommend widely.
  • commonform
    I'm just a review on the internets
    This podcast improved my sleep and my waking life, my jokes and my trivia knowledge, my relationships and my sense of self (not simultaneously; results not guaranteed). Look no further for all your British humor/talk show/inane banter/hard to follow associations/hard to hear accents/self-deprecation/any other needs.
  • RandaPrince
    All Time Favorite!
    I love this podcast. Helen and Olly are funny as hell. I have listened to all of the free episodes and I'm tempted to buy the back catalog too. I'm bummed that they only release one podcast per month now, but if that keeps them going, hey, once a month is so much better than "sorry guys, we're done."
  • jw12345
    This podcast IS the answer
    Either these are the two funniest, most quick-witted people on the internet, or they make it seem that way through the magic of editing. Episodes aren't coming out as often these days, but I'm always delighted when a new one pops up in my feed. Highly recommended!
  • Suzkstein
    One of my Top Favorite Podcasts of all Time!
    I found this podcast a few years ago completely by accident. At first I wasn't sure about these two Brits and a "sound man" and their crazy British humor and language. Over the hundreds of episodes I have since consumed they have captured my heart and funny bone. I can say I have actually become an Anglophile. I have become an avid listener of Helen, Olly and Martins solo podcasts as well. This is GREAT stuff people. HIGHLY recommend.
  • LindaSueK
    Witty & entertaining
    Answer Me This! is very witty, entertaining, & informative. It took me awhile though to stop looking outside to see if it was storming while listening to this podcast--the sound has some subtle microphone-related (I assume) booms in the background, like a thunderstorm in the distance.
  • Dinomc
    OMG!
    Brilliantly Hilarious... I adore their quick wit.
  • Sarahkate622
    Great podcast - funny and informative!
    I love this podcast. Helen, Olly and Martin the soundman make for a great show that's funny and full of pretty useless trivial knowledge.
  • nikiphred
    Simple premise, endless laughs
    Helen and Olly's easy chemistry make every subject hilarious AND fascinating!
  • Jgw;o)
    Pure silliness, but witty.
    Brits being hilariously rude.
  • Andrew Bohrer
    Curiously entertaining
    A call/write in show to answer questions. That's it. But, profoundly thought provoking, funny and completely random. Been a fan for years and the albums are great too.
  • Dan'sfan
    Great fun!
    Thanks Helen and Olly for all your great work!
  • Hflute
    Exactly what I've been looking for
    This podcast is hilarious, light, smart, and just completely enjoyable to listen to. It's the first podcast I can listen to back to back to back without feeling fatigued at all! I only wish you would go back to recording more frequently; I'm going through back episodes way too quickly!!
  • Veggie_Gilt
    Amusing (and sometimes even helpful) answers
    Always an amusing listen. Helen and Olly choose interesting questions and answer with both research and humor.
  • 8bittramp
    Funny, smart.
    The jingles are my favorite part.
  • ErinS1976
    Christmas Miracle!!!!
    I love this podcast! It's rather sad you are decreasing the frequency of episodes but I'll take what I can get!
  • cidnfgppsjebj
    My podcast equivalent of comfort food
    I love these guys. I listen to a LOT of podcasts, and AMT has always been in the top echelon, one of the few that I actually get excited for a new episode in my feed. Helen and Olly feel like old friends at this point, and whenever I feel kinda down, I know I can throw on an old episode and it'll make me feel a little better. I really appreciate the care and skill they put into making it sound so effortless.
  • Mooj58

    Amazing
    Super funny. I even learned a few things.
  • Dizzledydang
    Witty and Engagingly Edgy
    Helen, Olly, and Martin the Soundman's crisp banter as they answer a wide range of questions is a treat. This podcast has brisk pacing and a disarming, hilarious rapport between its hosts.
  • jeromepet
    my all time favorite
    I've been through episodes 30-330 many times over, and I keep being amazed at how it holds up. Of dozens and dozens of podcasts I follow avidly, this has been my favorite for years.
  • AnChriSa
    Funny and smart
    Love this! Intelligent humor and wonderful production value!!!
  • Evasivekind
    Hilarious
    I absolutely love this podcast. It somehow manages to be very funny AND informative. And Helen & Olly have great chemistry. Just a wonderful listen.
  • Kitten a Little Bit
    Possibly my favorite podcast ever
    Have you ever had one of those questions that you just don’t know how to answer? This podcast finds an answer and presents it in the funniest - and often bawdiest - way possible.
  • cbearg
    Funny and smart
    Consistently the funniest and cleverest podcast on my playlist.
  • Postit on line
    Great Idea
    Wonderful podcast answering many questions. Thank you.
  • ArtisticAMD
    Great Comedy!
    This is yet another indicator that I should simply move to London! Helen, Olly & Martin the Soundman are great fun! I HIGHLY recommend getting their App, it takes up less space in your device than trying to download enough episodes for the day at a time! And the answer is yes, I always have one of their jingles stuck in my head and I love it!! 🎶If you don't even know what a question is then you're probably in the wrong place🎶
  • GoodGood Soul
    Not fond of the Echo’s
    I really REALLY love this podcast but I just can’t stand the echo’s anymore.
  • AH711!
    Enjoyable in all aspects
    I've been listening since 2009 and am a real fan of the trio. I've even bought the first 100 episodes and it never gets old. Helen and Olly..and Martin the sound man are a real treat they complement each other making their silly banter worth the 30 or so minutes. The questions range from interesting and educational to hilarious and weird.
