Great show today, I’ve finally caught up!

I, myself, am an Aussie expat living up here in Scotland.

I’m looking forward to Matt’s book being released.

Just one thing — the TV quiz program Pointless, in my opinion, is an autistic show. The aim is to correctly guess the most obscure answer (not a wrong answer as suggested) — Angela, you would be a whizz on questions about Crowded House.

Keep up the great work.

Hey - yes of course Pointless is very Autistic! As are most game shows here. My husband and I love 9 out of 10 Cats, Taskmaster, University Challenge, and Only Connect (and Mastermind!) all very Autistic. We have an episode on how Jeopardy in the US is Autistic too - check it if you haven't already!

BTW - the book is mine and was written by me so I hope it doesn't disappoint you. :-P

You will definitely hear a lot of Matt's ideas in there as he is a big influence to me and did a round of edits where he added things to what I was attributing to him. <3

Ok, I must’ve misunderstood Matt’s plug of the book, but I’m still looking forward to it.

I’m sure I’ll have listened to the Jeopardy episode — I’ve been binging on the Podcast, at work, since I discovered it — sometimes up to four episodes a day.

I did audition for the Australian Jeopardy show thirty odd years ago, but didn’t get past the first step, lol
