I’m super excited to be back. We’re gonna start off with a little quiz show, a little trivia, to get things going. I’m Sonja Hutson, producer and guest host of the FT News Briefing podcast. We are a daily news show that covers the biggest stories in about 10 minutes or less every day, Monday through Friday.And then on Saturdays, we do a US politics chat show called Swamp Notes. So check it out if you haven’t already. We’ve got four rounds of this trivia. There are no rules. There are no points. So everyone gets a trophy. And, without further ado, I will introduce our contestants. We have Marc Filippino, host of the FT News Briefing podcast.And, we’ve also got Lilah Raptopoulos, who’s host of the wonderful Life and Art podcast from FT Weekend. Hi Lilah. Lilah Raptopoulos Hi, Sonia. I hope no one’s keeping score because my beat’s culture. Sonja Hutson We got a special category for you at the end, so don’t worry. All right, so round one is on US politics and it’s called Veep or real life. I’m gonna read a quote and you have to tell me if it’s from a real US politician or from the hit TV show Veep, which is personally one of my favourite shows, which is why I’m in this category.What other movies or TV shows is he known for? A) Spider-Man b) Dune or c) The Crown? Lilah Raptopoulos I’m feeling really good. Sonja Hutson I told you. I made this category for you. Rob Armstrong So I think we should not. We all have to. Sonja Hutson Lilah has to go last. Rob Armstrong I think it is . . . I’ve read the FT review of this movie, and I’m sure this fact was mentioned.
