Wake up, babe – a new AMT feature just dropped! Midway through the interminable month between new episodes, we’ll be doing an Answer Us Back episode that is all bits of feedback you send in about episodes old and new.
Today we hear from:
Scott, on the lyrics of ‘Sweet Caroline’, first discussed in AMT365 in 2018. By the way, you can hear Helen’s recording of the song seeping out from behind a tall West Midlands hedge, the chorus really kicks in around a minute in.
Steve in San Diego, with some cool tiara trivia following our discussion of that headgear in AMT408;
Elodia and Jess, both former medical students, illuminating us on what really goes on when they dissect human bodies during their training, which came up in AMT404. And Elodia previously wrote to us all the way back in 2011! Read that here, and, good news: famousbelgians.net is still online.
If you’ve been storing thoughts about AMTs 1-411, send them to us for future episodes of Answer Us Back. And as always, send in your questions, in voicenote or written form to answermethispodcast@googlemail.com, for all new AMT412 which will be in your podfeed 27 November 2025.
Also, join us for our fun Petty Problems live video on 16 November 2025 by signing up at patreon.com/answermethis; by doing so, you’re also helping keep the whole podcast going, so congrats and thanks for that.
