The Telephone Quiz at 1ZB is a modern version of a Roman holiday. A doughty band of four people sit in the studio at ten o'clock every Monday night and are roasted on the spit of general knowledge. Hilton Porter phones up listeners at random and asks them if they have any posers to put to the studio experts. Some questions require a large amount of discussion by the Brains Trust before a final answer is given and listeners can sit on the side lines at their radios and hear the deliberations. Some nights, the studio experts carry everything before them. Other nights their batting average is not so good. Either way it's good listening.
