Welcome to this month’s Answer Us Back, full of your feedback and questions provoked by previous Answer Me Thises. On today’s dance card:

● Elly from London corrects Olly’s assertion in AMT422 that radio legend Ken Bruce goes to see Les Miserables every year. That’s SLANDER, Olly, and Elly won’t stand for it! But maybe you can redeem yourself by getting on PopMaster to impress him with your Whigfield knowledge.
● Chris did not find Cosette’s tiny toy sword, as discussed in AMT422, at all unusual, since when he was a ten-year-old in North London, he wore an actual hunting knife on his belt.
● Charlie in Kreuzberg, Berlin takes exception to the lack of Stoke-on-Trent alums in AMT419’s list of famous people from the West Midlands. But one of her picks brings shame upon Stoke.
● Katie from Halifax has using her Soundbag-tier patreonage at patreon.com/answermethis to listen to the entire AMT back catalogue, which has left her with a burning question: who is this Meat Loaf of whom we speak?? A question we are only too delighted to answer.
● Rebecca from Missoula, Montana feeds back about AUB: All Aboard the Bidet Train to object to our dismissal of the ubiquitous American grape flavour as tasting chemically, when in fact it’s the real taste of concord grapes.

If AMTs 1-422 left you with lingering questions and opinions, share them with us for future episodes of Answer Us Back. And as always, send in your questions, in voicenote or written form, to answermethispodcast@googlemail.com. All new AMT423 will be in your podfeed on 29 October 2026.
