Trivial Warfare Trivia

On one hand, it’s fantastic. I love the content, and the questions are always fascinating and fun. On the other hand, Zakia’s addition as host is just rough. I thought Carmela’s nervous laugh was difficult to hear (although I must say that it has gotten so much better as she spent more time behind the mic!) but Zakia’s laugh and and high pitch squeal are so much worse. It genuinely sounds like a middle school girl trying to get her oblivious crush to notice her. Just skip episodes with her in them, and you’re golden!! I miss Ben and Chris 😔

Great show to put on a long drive or have in the background as you do house chores. Funny, informative, engaging. Started listening to this show from the beginning when it was just Jonathan and Chris asking each other trivia questions back and forth, and watched it evolve to the professional enterprise it is today. And it’s not just that, the trivial warfare “army” is more like a family, and it’s been fantastic to see it grow and evolve. Well done Jonathan and all involved. While Chris isn’t on as much anymore, I have always been a Chris stan and it’s a delight to hear his voice unexpectedly when a new episode comes on. Playas! Ohhhhh yeah. Five stars. Give the show a follow!

Edit: I’ve gone back to the very beginning of what’s available, and they are significantly more enjoyable. Ben , Carmella and Chris are great balances. Jonathan isn’t as unbearable, so maybe he’s just getting burnt out. Maybe I’ll jump back into newer episodes and see if it feels different now that I know the hosts better. I love trivia, and have been getting into trivia podcasts while I drive for work. This one pops up a lot, so I gave it a try. I LOVE the guests, and I like the format of the trivia. Unfortunately I spend most of my time listening to the episodes and rolling my eyes at Jonathan. He’s a pretty poor sport.

Great trivia podcast!
