  • UPDATED WEEKLY

Tangents is a unique quiz podcast that lets the players control the game by selecting the subjects from a list of “tangents” related to each question. The game keeps going until you miss three questions, so the goal is to build the highest score you can and get on top of the leaderboard. The trivia is based on the difficulty level of an average pub quiz, so it should be accessible for a wide audience. We cover a wide range of subjects like movies, TV, music, sports, specific pop culture themes, and academic subjects.

    Two For the Price of One with David Kantorski and Nanci Skinner (119)

    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 times before, so need no introduction here. Just enjoy, and stay tuned for the upcoming flood.

    Just a Jaunty Journey with Jeopardy Juggernaut Jen Jazwinski (114)

    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.

Episode Links: What has she been up to since SporcleCon? Bowling, the church choir and committees, and co-chairing the Lincoln Award committee. What’s she looking forward to? Getting back to Mexico.

Tuesday nights on the Trivia Workshop Twitch stream with her team “Densa”, Wednesday nights as “The Usual Suspects” on the Sunset Trivia Twitch stream, and several online leagues.####### JOIN THE DISCORD!!!The best way to get the latest updates about the podcast and the Tuesday night Twitch stream is to join the Discord server.

    In-Cider Quiz Information with Ben Coughlin (112)

    Ben returns for his second game - and just in time for the busiest time of year for his family business in Michigan. Before we got into the game, talked a LOT about the pub quiz business as he’s building a great one there at Bayne’s Apple Valley. 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 Parks & Rec, Star Wars, and the MCU. I hope you enjoy Ben’s company as much as I did. Episode Links: Where and when is his pub quiz? Tuesday nights at his family business Bayne’s Apple Valley in Freeland, Michigan. What does he recommend?
