Hi everyone this is James Harkin and Anna Tashinsky two writers of the TV show

QI and two-fourths of the hit podcast no such thing as a fish.

We'd like to let you know that we've written a book it It is called everything to play for. The most

interesting things there are to know about the world of sports. It's for you

whether you like sports or not. Did you know that legendary cricketer Gary Sobers scored his final century while drunk?

Or that games of lacrosse used to involve 100,000 players.

Learn that and so much more by getting everything to play for, the QI Book of Sports, available

in all bookshops and online right now. Hello everyone and welcome to the focus group podcast I'm Sarah

long well publisher of the bull work and this week we are helping you prepare for the holiday

season. We are dropping this show a little bit early so as you are prepping for

or recovering from your Thanksgiving holiday,

you can also enjoy the political struggles of a bunch of strangers who also are trying to figure out how to talk to their

families and loved ones about politics.

Now we've heard about these kinds of interpersonal squabbles for years across our various focus groups.

So hopefully after the show you'll find you are not alone this time of year.

If it has been hard for you to talk about politics around the holiday table.

My guest and I have done some focus groups together over the past few months and heard a lot

about how divided the country is right now.

Judy Woodruff is the former anchor of the PBS News Hour

and is currently a senior correspondent

who also hosts a recurring segment

talking about these very themes, America at Crossroads.
