Andy Bush, the voice of Hometime for 2.2m listeners on Absolute Radio, has moved into the quiz world with Guestimators, an innovative new entertainment platform combining two of Britain’s biggest pastimes, quizzing and podcasts.
Designed for the 34% of Brits who quiz weekly, Guestimators’ unique format makes it impossible to cheat, and has been described as ‘Family Fortunes meets Only Connect’.
Each Monday, quizzers are challenged to guestimate the most common answers given by the British public in response to a series of absurd questions with no correct answer.
The Friday podcast then sees Bush challenge a celebrity guest to the same quiz, before the answers and weekly leaderboard are revealed.
The first podcast – featuring comedian and TV presenter Mel Giedroyc – will be out on Friday November 24.
The Guestimators team also includes sports podcaster Matt Cutler (best known for the documentary The Pirates vs The Premier League) and Will Nichols, former VP, Content Development at Universal Music.
Quizzers can sign up to play Guestimators for free at www.guestimators.com, where you can also find more details about how Guestimators works.
Guestimators is distributed by Keep It Light Media, the podcast network founded in 2019 by Michael Marden and Josh Widdicombe and home to 35 podcast titles including Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe’s Parenting Hell, Wolf and Owl with Romesh Ranganathan and Tom Davis, and Alan Carr: Life’s a Beach.
