Fun and relatable
I love trivia and learning more about the lives of celebrities so this podcast ticks all the boxes. Thanks for showing us how our heroes are people too and can also be fans. Keep up the great work!
Listen to this podcast!
What a phenomenal podcast! An interview show disguised as a game show. I started listening to hear my favorite celebrities play, and quickly found the game was so interesting that I enjoyed the podcast just as much when I didn’t recognize the guests. If you’re not listening to Go Fact Yourself, what are you even doing with your life? Thhaaaank yooouuu Go Fact Yourself ( I put that last bit in just in case J Keith reads this at the end of an episode)
