Tangents: A Trivia Workshop Podcast

Trivia Workshop
  • 4.8 (25)
  • Games
  • 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.

    Down With the Sickness 2 - with Jeff Clear and Matt Lamia (131)

    This episode should wrap up the recordings that feature my unfortunate bout with pneumonia earlier this year, so bear with the voice a bit just for a bit. We have two veterans back in the hot seat this week with Jeff Clear making his sixth appearance and Matt Lamia making his fifth. ####### JOIN THE DISCORD!!!
