Pan Macmillan snaps up Goalhanger’s podcast tie-in quiz book The Rest Is Quiz

Pan Macmillan has snapped up Goalhanger’s The Rest Is Quiz quiz book. Publishing director Ingrid Connell acquired UK and Commonwealth rights, excluding Canada, from Karolina Kaim and Florence Dodd at WME. The book will be published on 6th November 2025.

Podcast network Goalhanger has had more than one billion total streams and views across its audio and video content, including podcasts such as The Rest Is History, The Rest Is Football and The Rest Is Classified. In Goalhanger’s "ultimate quiz book", readers can expect more than 1,000 questions to challenge and amuse fans of history, politics, sports and entertainment – plus a seasonal Christmas quiz.

Connell said: "As a fan of Goalhanger’s podcasts, working on The Rest Is Quiz has been a joy. The book’s a lot of fun, with entertaining questions taking us from the Ancient Greeks to Westminster intrigue, from celebs snubbed by the Oscars to sporting legends and Cold War spies. It’s perfect for the many dedicated listeners of the podcasts as well as anyone who enjoys testing their knowledge (and learning something along the way)."

Conrad Withey, chief revenue officer at Goalhanger, said: "Our shows have always been about entertainingly sharing knowledge and often about disagreeing agreeably. A quiz book felt like the perfect extension: nothing sparks that spirit more than a good trivia challenge with friends or family. Whether you’re a regular listener, viewer or just love testing yourself, there’s something here for everyone."

Macmillan will publish The Rest Is Quiz on 6th November 2025 in trade paperback and e-book.
