Welcome to Guess the Year! This is an interactive, competitive podcast series where you will be able to play along and compete against your fellow listeners. Here is how the scoring works:
1 point: get the year correct within 10 years (e.g., you guess 1975 and it is between 1965-1985)
4 points: get the year correct within 5 years (e.g., you guess 2004 and it is between 1999-2009)
7 points: get the year correct within 2 years (e.g., you guess 1993 and it is between 1991-1995)
10 points: get the year dead on!
Guesses can be emailed to [email protected] or texted using the link at the top of the show notes (please leave your name).
I will read your scores out before the next episode, along with the scores of your fellow listeners! Please email your guesses to Andrew no later than 12pm EST on the day the next episode posts if you want them read out on the episode (e.g., if an episode releases on Monday, then I need your guesses by 12pm EST on Wednesday; if an episode releases on Friday, then I need your guesses by 12 pm EST on Monday). Note: If you don’t get your scores in on time, they will still be added to the overall scores I am keeping. So they will count for the final scores - in other words, you can catch up if you get behind, you just won’t have your scores read out on the released episode. All I need is your guesses (e.g., Song 1 - 19xx, Song 2 - 20xx, Song 3 - 19xx, etc.).
Please be honest with your guesses! Best of luck!!
