Ask The Nincompoops
Andy Stanton & Carrie Quinlan
39 episodes
9 months ago

A riotously funny all-ages podcast where Andy Stanton (author of the Mr Gum books, extremely bright) and Carrie Quinlan (of Radio 4, also extremely bright) allow children (not bright) to ask any questions that they want the answers to. Who invented cheese? What are trees for and why are they everywhere? What’s the opposite of a kettle?


Using their immense brains, Andy and Carrie will answer the questions your children ask. The only catch? They’ll do it very, very badly.


Reviewers call the show ‘amazing,” ‘so good”, and “the best podcast on Planet Earth.”


Picked as one of the BEST PODCASTS FOR CHILDREN by The Huffington Post and British Podcast Award nominee for BEST FAMILY PODCAST.


Love from

Carrie and Andy

Ask The Nincompoops are BACK! And they're going to STAY BEING BACK!


What are you doing on Saturday mornings? Well from now on, you're being EDUMACATED.


From next week, there'll be a new episode every Saturday morning when you wake up (unless you wake up at 3am - it won't be ready at that time. You also might need to see a sleep specialist).


And there's a brand new live show coming to London soon too. A university-standard education for your children under 10 in just an hour.*

Tickets here!

*This statement has been queried by a disappointing number of university chancellors, lecturers, lawyers, newspapers and attendees. But they're all wrong. It is.
