5 - From Elton John to the Air Fryer

Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis uncover unlikely links between random places, people and things as they travel between Elton John and the air fryer, with guest Kiri Pritchard-McLean.

Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis are on a mission to get from Elton John to the air fryer in the most entertaining way possible, in a warm and witty podcast that celebrates new and half-remembered trivia as they try to find unlikely links between random places, people and things.

Could you make your way from The Starship Enterprise to the air fryer, armed only with A Level Economics and a Geography degree? Hugh Dennis is going to have to. While Steve Punt will have to pick his way across Africa, to find what links Machiavelli and Madagascar. Across the series, they’ll be joined by guests including Ken Cheng, Kiri Pritchard McLean, Isy Suttie and Marcus Brigstocke, on a scenic route which takes in Shampoo, The Gruffalo, Watford Gap Services and Yoghurt.
