Summary

Quizzes are helping make Lockdown UK a bit more bearable, but you already knew that, right? Have a point! Hannah got on the phone with quiz enthusiasts and hosts of the excellent podcast Fingers on Buzzers, comedian Lucy Porter and The Chase's Jenny Ryan. They chat about why we just love getting questions right, how quizzes are the perfect tool for socially-distanced socialising and what the nation's favourite quiz shows can tell us about society at any given time.  Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/standardissuespodcast.
