  • Trivia Knowledge increase

    Love this podcast and the increase in trivia knowledge from it. Some common sense if you would stop to think about it. Others are an absolute addition to knowledge. Great format also as it makes listening fun!

  • Best Game Show!

    Without qualification, this is the best game show podcast! It really is funny, but it’s also entertaining and you learn so much while being amused. This show needs to come back soon! I will host it here in Rock Hill South Carolina to bring it back!

  • Fewer guests, in greater depth

    loved the concept and the presentation, but they all seemed rushed. perhaps one or two guests and greater in depth. loved the fact checker's added comments. only reason I gave 4 stars instead of a well deserved 5.
