Answer Me This! is a comedy podcast by Helen Zaltzman and Olly Mann first broadcast in 2007, in which they answer questions submitted by the general public. It was one of the first independent British podcasts to gain success, and led to both Zaltzman and Mann establishing careers as professional podcasters. Initially produced weekly, the podcast became fortnightly in January 2014 and then monthly in December 2016. The series originally ended with its 400th episode on 5 August 2021, but returned for one further episode in 2023. On 2 January 2025 — the 18th 'birthday' of the podcast — it was announced that Answer Me This! would return, at first for three new episodes over three months at the start of the year. However, the return was soon thereafter expanded indefinitely to a monthly show.
Answer Me This! was nominated for Sony Radio Academy Awards in 2009, 2010 and 2011, in the category "Best Internet Programme"; in 2010, the podcast won the silver award and in 2011, it won the gold award. In 2021 the podcast received a special Gold Award from the British Podcast Awards, honouring its status in the development of British podcasting.
