Welcome to this month's edition of Answer Us Back, featuring your responses to and observations upon previous episodes of AMT. Today: Swiss Chris continues the fondue discourse, explaining its role as a festive foodstuff, and the cheese-crust nun at the bottom of the pot. Yes, NUN. As in, nun. Cheese nun! Julia in Dublin recounts a FONDUE FIRE! And Olly tells what happened the time he sought out the best ploughman’s lunch in England. Rafael tells us what he did with the advice we doled out in AMT408 about the overly pushy patron of his art gallery. Jane responds to AMT417’s discussion of shotgun weddings with some Classic Hollywood Musicals. Gosh, a wedding held by force is SUCH FUN, isn’t it, Old Hollywood. Johnny hears AMT410’s sweet-taste-of-sexual-awakenings cherry wine in songs and raises you sweet-taste-of-sexual-awakenings strawberry wine. Is there a beverage that reminds you of the start of your sexual career? Ari has a historical suggestion for why booze-free versions of alcoholic drinks tend to have blue branding, per AMT417. If you’ve been haunted by thoughts about AMTs 1-417, exorcise them by sharing them with 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 AMT418 will be in your podfeed 28 May 2026.
