The Incomparable Game Show

Let’s play TL;DR, the game of hasty summaries and reckless connections! Two teams compete against each other, and the clock, to show off how little they know about anything that isn’t Marvel. Watch out for Quinn’s surprising deep cuts, and a new ‘Lizzing’ record! Antony Johnston with Jason Snell, Quinn Rose, Lizbeth Myles and Jean MacDonald.

You stop your bicycle by a forbidding wrought-iron gate. A cobblestone path winds its way to the north. To the east and west stretches a dark and lonely road. It is raining. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Dan Moren, Monty Ashley and Brian Hamilton.

Once again a group of unsuspecting game players must answer trivia questions randomly selected from random editions of Trivial Pursuit! Plus there may be more Chex trivia—you never know. In this episode, our members of the World of People ponder many questions about the World of Places. Join us in the World of Podcasts, won’t you? Erika Ensign with Brian Hamilton, Annette Wierstra, Monty Ashley, S...

Our audience: the final frontier. Federation Feud returns, as two teams comprised of two Star Trek fans and one non-Star Trek fan each battle for control of the galaxy by guessing your stupid answers to our stupid Star Trek questions! Jason Snell with Antony Johnston, Anže Tomić, David J. Loehr, Kathy Campbell, Lizbeth Myles and Moisés Chiullán.

From Chex Trivia about music, to Chex Trivia about TV, to Chex trivia about the ’50s and ’60s, this episode of Random Pursuit has it all! Also a bunch of regular Trivial Pursuit sets, including Doctor Who and Star Wars, but it really did seem like Chex showed up a lot. Erika Ensign with Monty Ashley, Moisés Chiullán, Shannon Sudderth, Jean MacDonald and Kathy Campbell.

What’s a motorway? What’s an FA Cup? When is a mall not a mall? And why do British Trivial Pursuit question-setters have their mind set on topless women? Antony Johnston once again flings nonsense at a panel of confused North Americans for your education and amusement. Antony Johnston with Brian Hamilton, Scott McNulty, Moisés Chiullán, Erika Ensign and Annette Wierstra.

Who doesn’t love a Spelling Bee? Inspired by the annual National Spelling Bee, this bee features five of our regular panelists attempting to spell hard words selected by our chief speller, Jean MacDonald. (If you want to test yourself before listening to the results of this episode, listen to this file first.) Jean MacDonald with Antony Johnston, Dan Moren, Monty Ashley, Steve Lutz and Quinn Rose.

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. This time around, our teams test their knowledge of fictional characters’ epitaphs, compound word games, and award-winning books and movies that share a common word. It’s Jean MacDonald, Scott McNulty, and Liz Myles versus James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, and Tony Sindelar. Dan More...

We’ve gathered two teams from the corners of the Alpha and Beta quadrants to compete in this game, where we try to guess the stupid answers Star Trek fans gave to our stupid Star Trek questions.

It’s time once again to play TL;DR, the game of hasty summaries and reckless connections where two teams battle against the clock, each other, and a sometimes surprising paucity of pop culture knowledge. Will anyone ever get those elusive bonus points? The answer will shock you! Antony Johnston with Aleen Simms, Brian Hamilton, Tony Sindelar and Kelly Guimont.

We didn’t get to play Random Pursuit at the Gallifrey One convention this year, so we got the group behind last year’s wacky installment back together virtually to play again. Will Liz go for the Prosecco? Did Deb get enough cheese and crackers? Is Jason cheating at dice? Your definition of “geography” will be changed forever! Erika Ensign with Steve Lutz, Steven Schapansky, Deborah Stanish, Lizbe...

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. We’ve returned to quiz our panelists on a variety of topics, including books of chronological conveyance, a panoply of people with personas, and a slew of slapped-together sci-fi and spy stories of the screen. The “J Team”—James Thomson, Jean MacDonald, and Jason Snell—match wits...

Once more unto the breach, dear elflock, and raise the chirogymnast! Steve Lutz is back with more stupid real words and the even stupider fake definitions supplied by a bunch of confused panelists. And it’s almost baseball season, so the host is also probably drunk. Steve Lutz with Kathy Campbell, Brian Hamilton, Kelly Guimont, Tiff Arment and Annette Wierstra.

It’s time to try out a new game show; one we only just invented, and have never played before! Antony Johnston leads the charge into the unknown as we play a game of hasty summaries and reckless connections. Antony Johnston with Kelly Guimont, Annette Wierstra, Dan Moren and Kathy Campbell.

Perhaps it’s just his British charm? Perhaps it’s the rolled Rs? Somehow, Antony Johnston has once again convinced a group of North Americans to answer questions from a decades-old UK 20th Anniversary Edition of Trivial Pursuit, leading them into a sick world of cricket and boy bands. Who will hit it off the pitch for six? (Did we do that right?) Antony Johnston with Erika Ensign, Steven Schapansk...

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. After a long hiatus, we’ve assembled two teams to match wits when it comes to the first lines of well known books, decipher the origins of monstrous creatures, and identify some movies where a letter has gone missing. Quinn Rose, Scott McNulty, and Jean MacDonald face off against...

Scheming elves, desperate reindeer, and strung-out misfit toys—what could this be? Why, it’s a very special Christmas-themed game of Fiasco! We bring disaster and misfortune straight to the North Pole for your delight and amusement. Tony Sindelar with Brian Hamilton, Dan Moren, Kathy Campbell, Kelly Guimont, Monty Ashley and Scott McNulty.

Deck the halls and pour the egg nog, it’s time for the return of a vaguely Christmas-themed episode of Low Definition, a game where players come up with inane definitions of ridiculous words. Plus there are diversions into cultural Christmas traditions, Hallmark TV movies, and unusual Christmas Carols. Steve Lutz with Tiff Arment, Jean MacDonald, Brian Hamilton, Allison Truj, Jason Snell and Chip...

For our 100th episode spectacular, Kathy Campbell hosts a gigantic panel of players as we play mini versions of numerous Incomparable Game Show games, from Low Definition to Random Pursuit to Feuding Families to Inconceivable and beyond.

Break out your utility belt, dust off your high school bookshelf, and step into the nearest available time machine, because we’re one episode short of the big Game Show 100th Episode Spectacular! To fill the time, let’s play one more round of Feuding Families, the game where our panelists try to guess your ridiculous answers to our stupid questions! Jason Snell with Chip Sudderth, Cicero Holmes, B...

The trivia questions are random, the topics even more random, and yet the players keep coming back for more punishment! It’s the return of Random Pursuit, where it turns out that fandom is great, but trivia boxes designed to serve fandom are not. Not at all. Erika Ensign with Antony Johnston, Jean MacDonald, Kelly Guimont, Monty Ashley, Steve Lutz and Steven Schapansky.

If a train leaves from Montreal at five past the hour, how many cats will catch 100 mice in the barber shop? It’s time for Mindtrap, a game of brain teasers, puzzles, and atrocious puns. Brian Hamilton with Tony Sindelar, Jean MacDonald, Dan Moren, Kathy Campbell, Marisa McClellan and Scott McNulty.

We’re back with even more randomly selected trivia questions from even more random editions of Trivial Pursuit! Star Wars! Doctor Who! Religion questions for kids! No subject is too obscure, and no question is too easy. Erika Ensign with Annette Wierstra, Dan Moren, Deborah Stanish, Kat Griffiths, Scott McNulty and Steven Schapansky.

You stand among the ruins of the once-glorious Action Castle (castle castle castle). All that’s left is this courtyard, a lonely tower, and a few crumbling walls. A rickety wooden stairway leads up to the tower. A dark stairwell descends to the dungeon. Exits are: UP, DOWN, and WEST. Tony Sindelar with Dan Moren, Jason Snell, Aleen Simms, Kathy Campbell, Steve Lutz and Monty Ashley.

Time for another Fiasco! This time our collaborative storytelling game goes to a research station in Antarctica, where there are penguins and broken relationships and illegal medications, as you might expect. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, Brian Hamilton, Dan Moren and Kathy Campbell.
