Trivia[]
- This episode marks the first and only appearance of Victoria Coren Mitchell.
- Coren Mitchell is the host of quiz show Only Connect, on which Harkin, Murray and Miller competed.
- The absence of regular presenter Anna Ptaszynski in this episode is likely so that Anne Miller can make a guest appearance, her eighth on the podcast.
- Harkin prefers to use the singular word "panino" rather than "panini". This somewhat pedantic preference is referred to again in later episodes.
