Two years ago, British comedy musical duo Flo & Joan (aka real life sisters Rosie and Nicola Dempsey) came and did the quiz and were justifiably stumped by a whole lot of Australian-centric questions. This time around, they're lucky enough to get at least one question right in their trivia sweet spot.If you're in Adelaide, go see a show at the Adelaide Cabaret Festivalhttps://cabaret.adelaidefestivalcentre.com.au/If you're in Melbourne, go see John in the brand new play The Platypushttps://www.theatreworks.org.au/2024/the-platypus

As well as making this podcast, John is also an actor.Right now, he's rehearsing a brand new play by Francis Greenslade called The Platypus which also stars Rebecca Bower. And since they are the two people he's seeing the most of these days, it seemed perfectly logical that they should be this episode's guests.They're also both very clever people with a knack for quizzes.Get tickets to see John and Rebecca in The Platypus by Francis Greenslade here:https://www.theatreworks.org.au/2024/the-platypus

The podcaster community is a tight one. We tend to all have the same challenges of finding fresh guests for each episode. Invite one podcast host to be a guest on your show, and they’ll put you in touch with another who could be a potential guest, or they’ll introduce you to a podcast that you may not have been aware of. Todays episode is a case in point.Alexei Toliopoulos has been on the show before - he’s a prolific podcaster whose latest show The Last Video Store is an absolute delight tailor made to show off his encyclopaedic knowledge of cinema.This time he's brought along Alex Jae, who is likewise a host of several podcasts, her latest one being Screen Queens, a twice-weekly podcast about EVERYTHING you watch and see on your screens.

Comedian Tarsh Jago and cabaret artist Imogen Whittaker met in the considerably unlikely world of Aboriginal health policy and advocacy. But these friends found that they share a great deal of common ground. In their defence, the first half of this quiz is pretty tricky. Question writer Cindy MacDonald really didn't hold back this week.See how you go yourself!Get your tickets to Imogen’s show “The Last Word” at the Butterfly Club in Melbourne here: https://thebutterflyclub.com/show/the-last-word

Liam Pieper and Sofija Stefanovic are old friends who went to high school together. They've since both gone on to write moving and funny memoirs about their childhoods. Sofija wrote about being an immigrant kid in Australia during the dissolution of Yugoslavia, while Liam used his teenage experience of selling pot around the suburbs of Melbourne from the back of his pushbike to tell a story of family, addiction and learning how to live with yourself.
