Helen and Olly

The Big Show's regular look at what's making it big in the world of internet blogging. From politics, sport and music to entertainment and showbiz, fashion and the bizarre, our experts Helen and Olly take you through the hottest topics that people are blogging about.


Helen Zaltzman and Olly Mann are the creators and hosts of Answer Me This!, a weekly interactive comedy podcast recorded in Helen's front room in Crystal Palace. With more than half a million downloads per year, their show is one the most popular independent podcasts in Britain, and has been named as 'Critic's Choice' in The Times, Time Out, Radio Times, and The Independent. In December 2008, it was selected as an iTunes' 'Podcast of the Year'.

The pair have written for The Daily Telegraph, and regularly appear on Sky News to talk about current internet trends or review the papers. Olly is 'web watcher' for ITV's long-running daytime show This Morning and a regular guest on Five Live's Richard Bacon. Helen has written for Radio 4's The Now Show, and is a long-standing contributor to The Observer.
