The Mystery Hour

Every week, James O'Brien enlists the help of LBC listeners to solve the questions you've always wondered the answer to.

It's all about shared human knowledge. Call up with a question and then another listener around the country will know the answer.

There's one thing that's sure - you will know more by Thursday at one o'clock than you do now.
