    Not many people know this but when Adolpho Sax invented the saxophone he was going to call it the Adolphohorn, but his wife said it was a bad idea. She used to listen to this podcast and it made her much more worldly than her husband, who really just liked to tinker about in his shed when he could have been listening to this podcast with her, enjoying some quality couple time and maybe even learning a thing or two along the way. Never mind. But, Thank you for your support Mrs Sax!.

    Not many people know this but when Elvis was kicking back with the Memphis Mafia at Graceland they would listen to this podcast and debate the answers. Elvis knew the guys would let him win no matter what so he would shout deliberately wrong answers knowing no-one would contradict him. His team even emailed this office once or twice saying we had got an answer wrong, but Elvis had got them right. We ignored those emails… Nobody likes a butt-kisser!

    Not many people know this but in the very early days of this podcast we hired a young academic named Isaac Newton as a researcher and question writer. We thought young Isaac had a lot of potential but it all went wrong when he came back from his lunch break one day, said something about an apple falling on his head, and immediately asked if he could take unpaid leave. We weren’t happy about it. We said ‘Isaac! We need you! You don’t seem to understand the gravity of the situation!’ and he said ‘Exactly!’, left, and we never saw him again… wonder what happened to him?

    Not many people know this but as Charles Dickens was writing Oliver Twist he would pause every now and then to take in an episode of this podcast. One time he heard a question about the baseball team the Dodgers (Which baseball team will, decades from now, move from Brooklyn to LA?) and thought to himself ‘What an artful question!’. Immediately he knew he had to rename one of his main characters who up until then was called ‘Dave the naughty man who steals things but somehow always seems to get away with it’. A light went on in his mind and a famous literary character was born. You’re welcome Charlie!
