Mr Blobby made his debut on anarchic BBC show Noel’s House Party on 24th October, 1992.

Oscar Bilby, of Tulsa, Oklahoma grilled a beef patty, and - for the first time in documented history -  PUT IT IN A BUN - on 4th July, 1891.

It is of such consequential and amusing events that Olly's daily podcast, 'Today in History with The Retrospectors' is comprised, and, in this compilation especially for Answer Me This! listeners, he introduces two of his favourite episodes.

Hello! There's a sleighful of fun festive episodes of Helen's podcast the Allusionist over at the theallusionist.org and in the podplaces - episodes about Santa/Father Christmas/St Nick's many names, meaty greetings cards, what to do when kids' letters to Santa are delivered to you, and how to write a festive hit for a very Covid Christmas.

But, right here in your AMT feed are a couple of Festivelusionist highlights: Winterval, about the term that unwillingly became a byword for the War On Christmas; and How The Dickens Stole Christmas, explaining why Christmas is so damn Dickensian.

Also, we have a lot of delightful AMT festive episodes on the feed - seek out ones released in Decembers - as well as our Christmas album, available from answermethisstore.com/albums! We answered so many seasonal questions, about the Spanish shitting log tradition, the cause of Rudolph's red nose, how come there's a Flintstones Christmas episode though they lived long before Christ was born, and how artificial Christmas trees were begat by bog brushes.

Merry Winterval to one and all!

Beloved listeners: as we've said in the past, AMT doesn't tend to discuss current events, as we know a lot of you turn to the show to give yourselves a brief break from dealing with reality. We hope you're holding up and finding ways to be productive. Meanwhile, here's AMT386, a hearty plateful of low-stress chat about topics including wedding snubs, Magnums vs Soleros, lava lamp liquids, and getting your sex toys back from your ex's house.

3. Listening to AMT351, admittedly a delight at any hour of the day?
