Answer Me This! Podcast

LISTEN ad-free when you support us on Patreon

Welcome to this month’s Answer Us Back, full of your feedback and questions provoked by previous Answer Me Thises. Today’s lineup is:

• Dentist Lily Einstein, a direct descendent of Albert Einstein, responds to AMT422‘s chat about stickers at the dentist AMT423‘s discussion of posthumous rights to her great-great-grandfather’s name. Here’s the article she sent us about family legal drama over his letters.
• Longtime listener Ace Coggins pops by to note the existence of AMT Coffee – as have so many fans of this podcast in the past! But, perhaps not for much longer: Simon from Streatham reports on the coffee chain’s incremental demise.
• Olly recounting the specificities of the arrangement of his fridge magnet collection in September’s AUB amused Jo in Kingston, Ontario, because Jo’s family has many such complex rules for e.g. sending postcards and sitting on memorial benches.
• Andrew’s concerns in anticipation of his first wedding dance in AMT423 prompted:
  • Maggie to inform us that our advice in an AMT of yore (not sure which one) helped her avoid a wedding tradition she did not want to enact…
  • …and Martin (not our Martin the Sound Man, a different Martin) who is a dancer and, previously, a groom, to offer some comfort to Andrew.
• Thanks to last AUB‘s question “Who is Meat Loaf?” we discover we have Sam and Emma‘s podcast to listen to: Chat Out Of Hell, examining every single song by Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman.
