- Perfect way to start Saturday morning
It’s so great to have the quiz back. It’s a perfect way to start Saturday morning, lying in bed saying the answers and listening to the gentle and not so gentle hints John gives his guests to get to the answers. So much fun!!!

United Statesa year ago - Saturday morning perfection
Oh Johnny Leary…. The care in which you gently guide your guests to find the right answer is touching, even though we are screaming the correct into the speaker… you take their hand, and get them to where they need to be…

Not ever. Love it.
Tell your friends. They’ll thank you for it.
Apple Podcasts5jdpxuAustralia3 years ago - Good idea
Fun idea with interesting people; however, I’m not sure they are listening to episodes before letting them loose. Often it sounds like they havent done a microphone or sound level checks before recording the show. You often can’t hear one of the guests very clearly which can be annoying- especially when they have the correct answer.
Hopefully they’ll do this in the future.
