  • Saturday morning perfection

    Oh Johnny Leary…. The care in which you gently guide your guests to find the right answer is touching, even though we are screaming the correct into the speaker… you take their hand, and get them to where they need to be…

  • Good idea

    Fun idea with interesting people; however, I’m not sure they are listening to episodes before letting them loose. Often it sounds like they havent done a microphone or sound level checks before recording the show. You often can’t hear one of the guests very clearly which can be annoying- especially when they have the correct answer.

    Hopefully they’ll do this in the future.

    This podcast was on high rotation to keep my spirits up during a massive house move and I’ve been listening to it ever since. Scratches my trivia itch in a fun, anti-competitive way. Thanks John!!
