64/ JAY FLYNN, QUIZMASTER
Episode 64
From nights spent sleeping on the Embankment to an afternoon at Buckingham Palace, we’re delighted to share Jay Flynn’s story.
We get started with his promise to repay the charity who got his life back on track. We head north to settle down and become the life and soul of the local before he receives a hundred thousand invitations to living rooms around the country as the host of Jay’s Virtual Pub Quiz.
There’s tech fails, book deals and letters from the Prime Minister. We talk about the importance of a small radio to stay in touch with the world and the significance of a coffee in accepting a little help. Along the journey we travel from Leicester Square to Leicester Square, get the nod from Gareth Southgate and Harry Kane before picking up an MBE. There’s an online community, a crowd waiting at the Coach and Horses, and of course a Guinness World Record as he keeps his word.
