Quizzy Mondays Podcast

This week we are joined by Jack Waley Cohen otherwise known as @quizquizquiz, current Quiz Editor of Only Connect with an impressive CV including, Countdown. The Weakest Link, The People Versus and Only Connect, being part of the first series reaching the Final as part of the Lapsed Psychologists. We discuss his impressive quizzing CV, his entry into quizzing and his contemporaries he met while at Oxford University including a brave admission that led to him missing an opportunity to appear on University Challenge. We then cover his conversion from competitor to question setter and the steps that led to being involved in Only Connect eventually becoming Question Editor. Jack discusses the process involved of getting questions onto Only Connect from idea to screen and takes an opportunity to discuss the release of the Only Connect Quiz Book, now available at all good book stores. Jack also promotes his business QuizQuizQuiz which provides quiz and question master services which leads to a discussion regarding what makes a good quiz before finishing off with some quickfire questions.
