Tangents: A Trivia Workshop Podcast

Our first Vermonter! Ian Schulze is no stranger to the trivia podcast scene, so he came in without the usual nervousness. I had a great time with Ian on his search for questions about the band Pink Floyd. Have a listen and see if he managed to track any down, or if he hit a WALL. Get it?

If you play the Twitch stream quiz every week, you'll know Danielle from her team "Fields of Dreams", which actually goes back to the pre-Twitch days and live quizzing in Springfield with her family. She's playing from Decatur, Illinois in search of questions about Food & Disney. Have a listen and see how she did!

Another local regular tries the game this week. Jill Staunton has been winning my trivia events around Central Illinois for many years now, but never in a format that let her choose the subjects for every question, so this was new. She was looking for questions about The Beatles...but did she find them?

Another Chicagoland player takes a swing at the game this week. David Kantorski was looking for questions about 90s Music (especially Pearl Jam), Major League Baseball, and How I Met Your Mother.

Episode 23 takes us down under for the first time for a visit with Caleb Greyman, the writer and host for BrisQuiz Trivia in Brisbane, Australia. Caleb was looking for questions about the periodic table and 1990s Simpsons. Because the majority of my quizzes are set for an American audience, Caleb was at a bit of a disadvantage coming in, but still got to show off some impressive quizzing skills during our time together.

I've known this week's guest since he was a youngster, and he started hosting games for Trivia Workshop when he was straight out of undergrad. Now he's heading into an emergency medicine internship, so before he got to busy with the whole saving lives thing, I got him to answer some trivia questions.

It's a milestone week for Tangents - TWENTY episodes AND the return of Paul Paquet from the Ottawa Trivia League and the Trivia Hall of Fame. Paul's last quiz ended with some bad luck back-to-back questions about the OJ Simpson trial, so he came prepared this time around. If you'd like to join Paul and the rest of our guests for your own quiz, there's a link on the LinkTree page that will get you on the schedule.

This week I get to hang out with one of my favorite trivia players, Kevin Kuschel. I first met Kevin several years ago in St. Louis thanks to a pub quiz at a place called Syberg's and found out there that he's an encyclopedia of music knowledge. For this quiz, he listed "One Hit Wonders" as his specialty subject, but I don't think there's a music question in the database that would stump him. But...did he find his way into those questions?

This is the episode where we finally learn the origin of the "busstoptv" username. Harry McGrory from Glasgow (and ProgChamps) was in the hot seat this week, answering questions on a wide variety of (sometimes misleading) topics. He listed The Beatles as his specialty subject. He'll also be on an upcoming episode of the Frenemy Trivia Podcast, so stay tuned for that.

Madeleine Garvey is next up in the hot seat this week, in search of questions about Video Games and Taylor Swift. She's one of our regular players on the Tuesday night Twitch stream with the Bad Mustache team, so if you'd like to see how you would fair in a real head-to-head matchup, join us in real time every Tuesday night at 8pm Central!

Ali Baig is a ton of fun to talk to, so we ended up chatting about the quiz business for more than 30 minutes before we even got to the "First Five". For the sake of time, I trimmed that out of this episode, but it may show up in a special episode soon, so stay tuned. Ali is the founder of Baig of Tricks Entertainment in the burbs of Chicago and a real raconteur. It was an utter blast hanging out with him, so you can expect future visits.

First there was Edwards, then came Dippel, now episode 15 brings us our third Tim - Tim Gomez! It was good to finally put a face and voice to the name behind Where's My Elephant/incoherant9 on our Twitch games - and I learned quite a thing about some Peanuts characters as a bonus!

The MCU Infinity Saga and the Tudor Monarchy may not have much in common other than the fact that this week's guest was trying to find questions about either of them. When she's not in the guest seat on other podcasts, she's hosting her own, the Frenemy Trivia Podcast along with past guest Tim Dippel.

Brian Waldron has been a regular on our streaming quizzes since the early days of lockdowns with his team, Bok Bok Bitch.

Tim Dippel is a familiar voice in the trivia podcasting community, as half of the hosting duo behind the Frenemy Trivia Podcast, and as part of the PTE Network. And because that doesn't keep him busy enough, he also hosts The Perfect Ten Podcast on the ThunderQuack network.

Santa Monica isn't just the home of America's most famous pub quiz. It's also the home of this week's guest, John Liu. John is part of several online quiz leagues, and took advantage of the abundance of internet quizzing during the last four years to become much more proficient at pop culture trivia. His expert subject though is video games. Plenty of content on that subject in the database - but was John able to track it down? ### Make sure you check all the links in our LinkTree: ⁠https://linktr.ee/triviaworkshop --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/triviaworkshop/message

Another online regular tries their hand at Tangents this week. Mike Brownstein, one of the Ukrainian Trivia Resistance members heard that there was no spelling required for the podcast version of the game, and used that to his advantage. Mike is a great guy, and a great quizzer...and apparently deep into non-trivial things like disc golf.

Paul Paquet is one of the best - and most prolific trivia writers on the planet. Having Paul play the game made me realize what it must be like for the chefs on Kitchen Nightmares when Gordon Ramsay is trying their Beef Wellington. He is the man behind The Ottawa Trivia League, and The Trivia Hall of Fame, and for many years has provided the questions for the annual World Trivia Night in Ontario. He's also a budding thespian, so be on the lookout for Paul at the Oscars soon.

Another ProgChamp takes a shot at building a quiz this week. Stacey Melquist, AKA "stitchinstacey" is my guest and she was looking for a wild array of subjects - RuPaul's Drag Race, 80s Music, and Knitting. On another note, on the LinkTree page I've added a link to the event page for the annual Crime Stoppers Trivia Night fundraiser that I do every year. It's a large scale event for a ridiculously low ticket price, so if you can make it to Central Illinois on January 27th, please join me. https://linktr.ee/TriviaWorkshop --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/triviaworkshop/message
