    Answer Us Back: Tobermory Carvermory
    Feb 12 2026
    Hello! Welcome to this month's edition of Answer Us Back, full of your feedback on AMTs old and new. Today: In response to AMT413's question about unusual food combos, Dan writes in about his sauerkraut spaghetti, which still doesn't seem that deviant. The Toby Carvery's appearance in AMT403 was very illuminating for listeners outside of the Toby Carvery-producing regions, including Eric in Oregon, who in return teaches us about the Toby Carvery gold card. In AMT413 we identified what species Wombles are. Amy and her sister are preparing to go on a Wombles-themed holiday in six different locations. AMT361 prompted a fond memory in Sarah from Leeds of skipping to school with her dad, awww. AMT206, featuring quite reluctant pod-guest Jackie Mason, is making Katie from Halifax, Nova Scotia feel better about her own awkward workplace atmosphere. Erm, you’re welcome, Katie? If you’ve been storing thoughts about AMTs 1-414, 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. All new AMT415 will be in your podfeed 26 February.

Helen, Olly and Martin created a podcast phenomenon from 2007 to 2021. They answered questions you always wanted to know the answers to and some you never thought of asking. With adult humour and often strong language, this is for a more mature audience.. however most episodes are suitable for older teenage ears. If you want pure entertainment on your journey or just to sit back and relax, this is the podcast you want to be binging the wealth of previous episodes. Fans of answer me this were devastated when the three decided to quit, But Olly continues today with many different podcasts including the Modern Mann and the Retrospectors. fans of Answer Me This, still hope that one day it may return.

Answer Me This, is the 'Must Listen To' Podcast.
