Show Notes
Your hosts Lucy Porter and Jenny Ryan have a hot discussion topic this week: quiz show hosts. What makes a great quiz show host? Who are the best examples, and what makes them shine?
Our guests are serial quiz show contestant James MacGregor, who joins us to talk about his team’s appearance on Eggheads, and James Harkin, star of the hit podcast No Such Thing As A Fish, senior QI Elf and all-round fact magnet.
We press on with the Quiz Syllabus – Lucy has all the answers with her quiz on Heraldry, and Jenny sets some testing questions on UK Christmas Number Ones. Very festive!
Thank you to our guests: James MacGregor of the Liverpool Quiz League and James Harkin of QI and No Such Thing As A Fish
