It's a classic PBC episode this time, as we go back to our roots and discuss a podcast to see what makes it tick. Lateral with Tom Scott is a quiz podcast, which is a really underrepresented format in our opinion. So what makes it work? Why should you consider this format for your show? Will we get too hung up on the importance of points? (yes).

In this episode podcast producers Zoe Anderson and Daria Lawson, podcast production manager Elizabeth Amos, and audio engineer Alex Bennett discuss:

• Making a show for a specific audience
• Clips versus full episodes on Youtube
• The challenges of making a video podcast
• Our deep and abiding love for points
• What we can learn from Lateral
