It’s fair to say the podcast has been “quite” successful. Its episodes have been listened to more than 100 million times, with 1.5 million new streams every month . . . The Book of the Year [is] a compendium of topical facts in 365 categories. It’s laced with their dry wit, and likely to end up in many a pub-quizzer’s Christmas stocking.

Brilliant and funny . . . educational as well as entertaining. A rare but valuable combination.

Hugely enjoyable . . . this tome is just right: deadpan, sharp and disarmingly offbeat.

Absolutely ideal for the Christmas holidays.
