  • Another fun binge trivia show for

    I found this podcast thru Skillet Brew, another great unique show. Tangents is fun to listen to, has a truly interesting format and I can easily play along!

    Just wish the background music was not used. Kinda distracting. On episode 18 so I have a lot to look forward to !

  • Choose-Your-Own Trivia Adventure created by a pro!

    Russ has a well-earned reputation as a great trivia host, whether in person or online, but in this game the player shapes the quiz as much as the host does. This is as much fun to play as it sounds!

  • Great podcast with an interesting format. The player "makes" their own game by following a path of tangents based on the previous question. Great questions! With a host with the most mellifluous voice in podcasting.
