About the show

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. If you have a question you want these two geniuses to ask, just send it, with your name and age, to askthenincompoops@gmail.com - and we'll try to answer them in an upcoming episode! Reviewers call the show ‘amazing,” ‘so good”, and “the best podcast on Planet Earth.” Even the ACTUAL REAL newspaper FOR CLEVER ADULTS, The Guardian, said it's "hilariously surreal...a child-friendly twist on Vic-and-Bob." Picked as one of the BEST PODCASTS FOR CHILDREN by The Huffington Post, The Guardian's BEST PODCASTS FOR KIDS, and a British Podcast Award nominee for BEST FAMILY PODCAST. Love from Carrie and Andy (aka the Nincompoops) xx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
