Good day to you, listeners,
Today’s podcast comes to you in association with Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Or rather, through a mulch of Krispy Kreme doughnuts; if only we had heeded our grandmothers’ insistence upon not talking with our mouths full. So we suppose Answer Me This! Episode 103 is a bit like dancing on granny’s grave, only without the danger of stubbing our toes on a headstone:

Architects in Helsinki
America’s Best Dance Crew
quesadillas
King Charles II’s prophylactics
Take That’s long-running association with lube
Victorian hair jewellery
True Blood

and
the George Darte Funeral Home.
Plus: Olly tries to get by in Spanish; Helen’s childhood hobbies are some Benjamin Buttons shit; and Martin the Sound Man was, by the sound of it, abducted by aliens and forced to participate in some giant scat pool party. We also warn off the other Oliver Mann and the other Answer Me This.
Moreover!

Au revoir,
Helen and Olly

August 10, 2009 at 9:22 pm |
A cult of AMT listeners. Or is that too S&M?
A sound man of AMT listeners?
A tit of AMT listeners?
August 10, 2009 at 2:44 am |
Of the suggestions so far I’m fond of ball, wanksplash and orgy. This possibly reflects badly on me.
August 10, 2009 at 3:05 am |
No, Sharon, it means like Shaznay, you know where it’s at.
A Shaznay?
August 9, 2009 at 11:54 pm |
I like swarm. Dangerous and annoying.
August 9, 2009 at 4:56 pm |

Apparently, ‘flange of baboons’ was made up by Richard Curtis when he was a writer for Not The Nine O’Clock News because he thought it sounded funny. The sketch, with Rowan Atkinson as “Gerald The Intelligent Gorilla”, became so ubiquitously quoted that, as a direct result, the term has now been accepted…
Well, fancy that….
Smasher.
August 9, 2009 at 12:39 pm |
A bamboozle.
August 8, 2009 at 11:18 am |
In descending order,
A quirk, a strangeness, an oddness, a madness or an asylum of listeners.
or a perverse one,
a sobriety of listeners.
August 8, 2009 at 9:22 am |
Well it’s obvious, innit?
A quiz of listeners. It already sounds plural and has a nice onomatopoeia about it. Plus it’s fun to say “christ, I got cornered in the market by a quiz and had to divert their attention with a half-finished sudoku!”
August 7, 2009 at 3:57 pm |
Like the man above said, definitely “a ball”. Potentially “a bloody ball” when things get particularly heated.
Now answer my Tim question, right away!
Cheers,
Gordon the BritAmeriCanadian in Edinburgh

clearly, it has to be a ‘douche’ of listeners.
one the one hand, the french means shower, which is what we are. a beautiful showering of podcast listeners.
on the other self depricating hand, we are all kind of douchebags.
August 7, 2009 at 4:30 am |
At first I was thinking a download, or maybe a cast, or perhaps even a stream, but then the correct answer was obvious.
A piss.
August 6, 2009 at 11:33 pm |
What about a feed of listeners, like a podcast feed? Eh?
August 6, 2009 at 11:26 pm |
How bout: a reference, an inquest, an enigma or a catechism of amt listeners?
August 6, 2009 at 8:19 pm |
I can’t help thinking we should be an ignorance of listeners.
Too obvious?
Well kiss my predictable a.h.
August 6, 2009 at 8:15 pm |
A wanksplash of listeners.
August 6, 2009 at 7:19 pm |
A ball of AMT’s.
August 6, 2009 at 6:34 pm |
“A Prick of podcasters”? alliteration is your ally.
August 6, 2009 at 6:27 pm |
listener are fans, so a group of them is a fanny.
August 6, 2009 at 6:05 pm |
A cuntwad of listeners?
or alternatively an anal herpe of listeners?
August 17, 2009 at 2:21 pm |
Mwahaha, fuck everyone, mine got onto episode 104!
August 6, 2009 at 4:06 pm |
How about a gabble of Answer Me This listeners?
Gabble: To talk fast, idly, foolishly, or without meaning
August 6, 2009 at 2:29 pm |
Well, there are so many ones which could be ”the one”..here are my offerings…

August 6, 2009 at 2:04 pm |
Having opened the first book that came to hand and chosen three words at random, I would like to suggest:
A tweed of listeners
A breakfast of listeners
A blaze of listeners
August 6, 2009 at 2:01 pm |
A Rookery

August 6, 2009 at 1:13 pm |
