Tangents: A Trivia Workshop Podcast

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 of content on that subject in the...

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 to check his LinkTree below for more info on that!...

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 questions for the annual World Trivia Night in Ontario....

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 year. It's a large scale ev...

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 on this trip? IRL Trivia News I...

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, Oscars, 2010s films, comic books, soap operas,...

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. To find out more about all of the LK events, live or onlin...

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 good idea what you're missing. Enjoy. A...

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. It was great having her on to create a quiz. Have a listen and see how she did. https://linktr.ee/TriviaWorkshop

This is the pilot episode, and I could think of no one better to help test the game than Tim Edwards of Questionable Co. in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This might work.
