“This podcast is light hearted, funny, and engaging. With guests that jest and guess with equal enthusiasm, while still allowing us at home to guess (and yell out the answer we have long figured out). The running joke of Tom’s ancient-ness tickles me pink, and, as an American, I for one am all for...”Read full review »

“i get why mr. scott feels this has to be like that but boy i hope the advertising revenue and networking opportunities are worth it. can’t wait for ai to kill the whole creator economy. the technical differences were actually fun, this is the opposite of that.”

“I love this show, and I look forward to Fridays to try to guess along with the contestants! In reference to the latest show, we do have double glazing in the US, but we call it double paned windows. Some older homes may still have single paned, but it is increasingly rare.”

“What let’s it down are whoever is in charge of placing where the ads are. I understand the show needs ads but when people are mid way through a two way communication and it just screams about how I need shampoo. Yeh it lost me.”

“I love this show but recently the episodes have 6-8 commercials that are really loud and always wake me with a heart attack, which makes it unlistenable. I don’t mind adverts and I understand them, but if they were read by the host or just mixed better without literal shouting and music and sound...”Read full review »

“I have been listening to this podcast everyday, You can easily revisit an old episode and have no idea of what the answer is, truly lateral thinking questions. I was worried when the YouTube Lateral show ended but this form of Podcast revival is a blessing”

“Fantastic podcast to listen to by yourself or with people and the format makes it a treat to play along with. Only downside is that there is no video available beyond some highlights on YouTube. Certainly not a dealbreaker but I would love the option since they are filming it anyway for the...”Read full review »

“On YouTube, you can see the webcam and everyone as well as a well made visual intro, so clearly the team did enough to make it a video podcast, and yet, it’s audio only here. But if you try to watch the series on YouTube, we only get the highlights. Pick a format and stick with it!”
