Ultra Quiz PlusUltra Quiz Plus: Tote ScroatsHere is the Next Episode of Ultra Quiz Plus, featuring Ian Macdonald, Nic Dufault and TV's Nate White with Host Doug Birgfeld and Ann-Marie Keene in the Bird cage: Topics covered include: historical nicknames, misused slang words and things the police get up to.
We had some audio quality issues we can attribute to a live band playing a bit closer to us then we would have liked and some new audio equipment we are still getting used to. Apologies, we should have that corrected for the next show.
