Olly Mann

[6] In 2009, Zaltzman and Mann became the UK's first podcasters to be given their own radio show, "Web 2009 with Helen and Olly", an irreverent look back at the year's online trends,[7] on BBC 5 Live.

[11] After the show had been running for two years, the slot was made available to download as part of the BBC's weekly Let's Talk About Tech podcast.

[12] In 2012, Mann became a regular stand-in presenter on London talk station LBC 97.3, where he has interviewed comedians Rufus Hound[13] and Charlie Higson[14] and hosted the overnight slot for ten nights over the festive period.

Examples of listener queries include topics like the annual count of meatballs served at IKEA and the speed capacity of the Popemobile.

[23] It was selected as one of the Top 10 Comedy Podcasts in the World by The Guardian,[24] and as Critic's Choice in Radio Times, Metro,[25] and The Observer.

Alongside co-host Ollie Peart, the duo humorously discusses current trends, like the emergence of "anti-tech tech" and the popularity of inspirational quote posters to more serious topics.

For example, in series three, Mann interviewed Adam Deen, a former member of the banned British extremist group Al-Muhajiroun.

Later, Mann stated that the show embodied the essence of public service broadcasting, presenting challenging content within an entertaining package.

Adam vividly described various moments post the incident, from a forensic expert investigating her bedroom to the rigorous cross-examination she faced in court.

Topics include South Africa's unsuccessful attempt to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games and the Protect and Survive pamphlet that advised the public on what to do during a nuclear attack and subsequently republished by the Imperial War Museum.

The show debuted fourteen months before events like the Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse cases, the MeToo movement and the BBC gender-pay-gap controversy entered the public consciousness.

Examples include tablets that malfunction soon after activation and in-car headsets that require extended software update periods upon battery replacement.
