| BIG BIRTHDAY NEWS | 02 Jan 2025 | 00:08:22 | |
Happy birthday to AMT, turning 18 years old today! Which means our baby is now an adult, and we are celebrating by....
🎉 BRINGING THE PODCAST BACK! 🎉
We're going to try it out with new monthly episodes on the last Thursday of the month, for the next three months.
So the show will return with AMT402 on 30 January 2025, 403 on 27 February, 404 on 27 March...
And after that? Well, if we're enjoying it, and you're enjoying it, we hope to continue. We need your help, though, in the following three ways:
Send us your questions. This podcast depends on them! Send them in writing or as a voice note to answermethispodcast@googlemail.com - ideally including the formula "Helen and/or Olly, answer me this", and let us know a name (pseudonyms are fine) and pronouns to use for you. As always, your questions can be about all sorts of things: pop culture, history, moral dilemmas, romance, workplace feuds, etiquette, myths, whatever is causing your brow to furrow. Also, if you want to fill us in on how you are and what's been happening in your life in our absence, please do.
a) Tell people the show is back. Social media? Great! Old media? Fantastic. Writing it across your face and running around the supermarket? Could work. We'd love for listeners old and new to hear that AMT is returning.
b) Resubscribe in your podcast app: follow the links at https://pod.link/208516732. And set to auto-download new episodes while you're there. (Nowadays a lot of the podcast-listening apps will stop updating you with new episodes if you haven't recently listened to one. Don't let 'em!)
Fund the show at patreon.com/answermethis. Your contributions will help keep it going. And we have some sweet extra perks for you coming up just as soon as the show is up and running again.
That's all our demands! For now. We're excited to answer your questions again, and to witter in your ears while you commute or work out or do the gardening or nurse the baby or fall asleep. Happy New Year!
