ABOUT THE SHOWS
HERE'S WHAT YOU DO
Here's What You Do is the main show and features three brand new quizzes every episode. That's three new mechanics, new formats and new topics, every episode. We vote at the end of each show to decide whose quiz was the best. You can vote for your favourite quiz in our Instagram poll, launched the Saturday after the episode releases.
Here's What You Do releases once every two weeks.

Here's What You Missed is our bonus show, and it features questions we didn't use in the main show, unused tiebreakers, regular peaks behind the showbiz curtain, and the kind of tomfoolery only we can provide. There are no points on offer, but pride is still at stake!
Here's What You Missed releases every two weeks, in the weeks that there isn't a main episode.

This is Here's What You Didn't Expect - an impromptu bonus show! Episodes will release when James, Jonny and John appear on other podcasts, fun global events happen, or inspiration strikes. You can expect chats about what we've been up to, plus the usual heady mix of quizzes and tomfoolery.
Here's What You Didn't Expect can't be contained by anything as mundane as a release schedule.

I’m a TV Producer that loves creating and developing formats packed with energy, games, and those unforgettable “I could do better than that!” moments.
My development credits include 007: Road to a Million, Picture Slam, Lingo, Glow Up, and Cooking Up Love. When I’m not coming up with the next big format, you’ll find me producing games and challenges on hit shows like Tempting Fortune and The Inheritance.
I love testing people in fun ways with games and quizzes and this podcast is the perfect way to do that with friends - and a wider audience who get a thrill out of getting an obscure question correct or spotting the hidden pattern in a quiz before anyone else.
I’m a board game enthusiast (the “easy to learn, hard to master” kind), a connoisseur of delightfully bad horror movies, and an avid cyclist always in search of a great local taproom.
