Hey, it’s been a while! The busy season for trivia night fundraisers around here has meant there’s been little time for editing the podcast, so we’ve gone a bit silent here for a few weeks. Happily, we’re back now with a great episode and two great guests. And bear with it for a bit - Keith’s audio gets better after a headset change. Keith was looking for Theater, Oscars, Math, and The Simpsons -...

Since just a couple of months into this podcast, the gap between recording date and publishing date has been getting wider and wider, and has reached about 16 weeks(!) at this point, which is just nuts. In an effort to narrow that gap, you're about to be bombarded with players...beginning with this episode featuring BOTH David Kantorski and Nanci Skinner! They've both appeared multiple tim...

Buckle up for this one. Jeopardy champ, Jen Jazwinski gave us our best test of the new rule limiting players to five questions in a row from the same category. Without that limit, we might still be recording. I won’t give away any spoilers, but I think it’s safe to say she managed to find at least one of her specialty subjects. It’s a fun one, so enjoy!

I chopped most of that conversation for time, but it might make its way into a special episode soon. In this one, Ben was looking for questions about Pa...
