Episode 23 takes us down under for the first time for a visit with Caleb Greyman, the writer and host for BrisQuiz Trivia in Brisbane, Australia. Caleb was looking for questions about the periodic table and 1990s Simpsons. Because the majority of my quizzes are set for an American audience, Caleb was at a bit of a disadvantage coming in, but still …

I've known this week's guest since he was a youngster, and he started hosting games for Trivia Workshop when he was straight out of undergrad. Now he's heading into an emergency medicine internship, so before he got to busy with the whole saving lives thing, I got him to answer some trivia questions. If you want to try your hand at the game, visit …

It's a milestone week for Tangents - TWENTY episodes AND the return of Paul Paquet from the Ottawa Trivia League and the Trivia Hall of Fame. Paul's last quiz ended with some bad luck back-to-back questions about the OJ Simpson trial, so he came prepared this time around. If you'd like to join Paul and the rest of our guests for your own quiz, ther…

This week I get to hang out with one of my favorite trivia players, Kevin Kuschel. I first met Kevin several years ago in St. Louis thanks to a pub quiz at a place called Syberg's and found out there that he's an encyclopedia of music knowledge. For this quiz, he listed "One Hit Wonders" as his specialty subject, but I don't think there's a music q…

This is the episode where we finally learn the origin of the "busstoptv" username. Harry McGrory from Glasgow (and ProgChamps) was in the hot seat this week, answering questions on a wide variety of (sometimes misleading) topics. He listed The Beatles as his specialty subject. He'll also be on an upcoming episode of the Frenemy Trivia Podcast, so s…

Ali Baig is a ton of fun to talk to, so we ended up chatting about the quiz business for more than 30 minutes before we even got to the "First Five". For the sake of time, I trimmed that out of this episode, but it may show up in a special episode soon, so stay tuned. Ali is the founder of Baig of Tricks Entertainment in the burbs of Chicago and a …

First there was Edwards, then came Dippel, now episode 15 brings us our third Tim - Tim Gomez! It was good to finally put a face and voice to the name behind Where's My Elephant/incoherant9 on our Twitch games - and I learned quite a thing about some Peanuts characters as a bonus!

The MCU Infinity Saga and the Tudor Monarchy may not have much in common other than the fact that this week's guest was trying to find questions about either of them.When she's not in the guest seat on other podcasts, she's hosting her own, the Frenemy Trivia Podcast along with past guest Tim Dippel.

Santa Monica isn't just the home of America's most famous pub quiz. It's also the home of this week's guest, John Liu. John is part of several online quiz leagues, and took advantage of the abundance of internet quizzing during the last four years to become much more proficient at pop culture trivia. His expert subject though is video games. Plenty…

Another online regular tries their hand at Tangents this week. Mike Brownstein, one of the Ukrainian Trivia Resistance members heard that there was no spelling required for the podcast version of the game, and used that to his advantage. Mike is a great guy, and a great quizzer...and apparently deep into non-trivial things like disc golf. Be sure t…

Paul Paquet is one of the best - and most prolific trivia writers on the planet. Having Paul play the game made me realize what it must be like for the chefs on Kitchen Nightmares when Gordon Ramsay is trying their Beef Wellington. He is the man behind The Ottawa Trivia League, and The Trivia Hall of Fame, and for many years has provided the questi…

Another ProgChamp takes a shot at building a quiz this week. Stacey Melquist, AKA "stitchinstacey" is my guest and she was looking for a wild array of subjects - RuPaul's Drag Race, 80s Music, and Knitting. On another note, on the LinkTree page I've added a link to the event page for the annual Crime Stoppers Trivia Night fundraiser that I do every…

This week's guest is Chris Hernandez, AKA "El Guapo"...a familiar name on Twitch for those of you who play my weekly streaming quiz . He's been a very active supporter of the stream for a long time, so I was eager to get him booked as one of the first few players on the podcast. He was looking for questions about The Simpsons, but did he find them …

Happy New Year! This week's player is Brian Irving, a fan of 90s movies and the Atlanta Braves, even though he's right in the middle of Cardinals/Cubs territory. Brian was able to build a quiz with questions about subjects like Abe Lincoln, Yugoslavia, DVD sequels, Lord of the Rings, music genres, 80s movies, mascots, acting athletes, Florida, Osca…

Here's my gift to you this Festivus season. Jay Borsom from Liquid Kourage Entertainment has appeared on every other trivia-related podcast, so this was inevitable, I suppose.You can catch Jay several times a week doing live streams on Twitch, or if you're lucky enough to live in the suburbs of Chicago, you have some live options as well.

Cheyenne is one of those people who signs up for every available online quiz and quiz league, so if you've been in that space since the spring of 2020 when that stuff took off, you've probably seen him, played against him, and watched him pull answers with the clock running out. If you have somehow missed out on that, this episode will give you a g…

If you've played our streaming quiz on Twitch since early 2020, chances are you've heard of a team called Professional Left. Fran is part of that team along with her husband Bill.
