Which mountain is situated such that all four of its faces point to the southeast?

The answer to that, at the end of the show. My name's Tom Scott, and this is Lateral.

Today's show is the 180th one we've recorded. Not gonna lie, I didn't know numbers went up that high.

Up until now, I thought they topped out around a dozen-ish, and anything bigger was just showing off.

But apparently, once you hit 180, things start getting complicated.

You need spreadsheets, folders, subfolders, a special draw labelled episodes we definitely meant to fix but didn't,

and a second Microsoft Word document to start storing more questions in.

That last part's actually true.

Our guests for episode 100, oh dear, this is a lot, is first from Murder She Didn't Write,

which is on tour again soon.

Lizzie Skippy Egg, welcome back to the show.

Hello, hi Tom, how are you doing?

No one ever asks, I'm doing good, thank you very much. How did the tour go? Because as we record this,

you just got back, as I understand. Yes, the tour was very fun. I saw lots of bits of the country that I hadn't seen before. And we're going back to most of them.

But not that one. Looking at you, Shroesbury. I picked Shroesbury. I don't know why I picked Shroesbury.

Yeah, probably not chipping Norton again, but we're doing the rest.

So yes, it went very well and it was very fun.

And I'm maybe a bit, maybe a bit short of vitamins now, so I'm sort of nourishing my way through.

Now, are you always the detective, or does that swap around between the cast?

It does swap around, because it's nice to kill us well, you know.

It's good to have to take a turn.

Well, good luck, both on the show and with the improvised murder mysteries.
