    21 Questions (Ep 60) The Private Life of Mickey and Minnie Mouse

    In this Ep of 21 Questions by Trivia Tribe Mike will quiz you on a breed of dog named after a country,  a country named after a compass point, and how many points certain balls score in snooker. We think you’ll find this ep quite amusing. Maybe even more than ‘quite’! but we don't want to over-promise anything... Not many people know this but back when Carly Simon was writing You’re So Vain she originally had a reference to this podcast in the lyrics. It went ‘You’re so Vain, you probably think you’d get a perfect score on 21 Questions’ but we said ‘No’ when her publishers asked us for permission to mention us, and we only did that because we didn’t want to get caught up in a Kanye/Taylor type feud… 21 Questions is hosted by comedian and trivia host Mike van Acker. It’s a short, sharp trivia podcast where Mike gives you the answer to each question before he asks the next one so there’s no need for paper, pens, teams or a Siamese cat.       New episodes every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

    21 Questions (Ep 59) What’s Your Karaoke Song? The Listeners Have Spoken!

    In this Ep of 21 Questions by Trivia Tribe Mike asks about a song by Elvis, A movie that starred Tom Hanks, and there’s a maths question but it’s not too hard we don’t think! Not many people know this but back in 1813 when Lawson Blaxland and Wentworth were crossing the Blue Mountains in New South Wales they very nearly turned back because they couldn’t get a mobile signal and thus couldn’t listen to this podcast  - the network coverage was very patchy in the early 1800s.

    In this Ep of 21 Questions by Trivia Tribe Mike asks about Han Solo’s spaceship, Edwin’s Telescope and Wembley’s Stadium. And quite a few other things as well! Not many people know this but when Adolpho Sax invented the saxophone he was going to call it the Adolphohorn, but his wife said it was a bad idea. She used to listen to this podcast and it made her much more worldly than her husband, who really just liked to tinker about in his shed when he could have been listening to this podcast with her, enjoying some quality couple time and maybe even learning a thing or two along the way. Never mind. But, Thank you for your support Mrs Sax!. 21 Questions is hosted by comedian and trivia host Mike van Acker.

    In this Ep of 21 Questions by Trivia Tribe Mike asks about a 70s supergroup, twins that became famous in the 80s, and an action movie star that didn’t live to see his 90s… Not many people know this but when Elvis was kicking back with the Memphis Mafia at Graceland they would listen to this podcast and debate the answers. Elvis knew the guys would let him win no matter what so he would shout deliberately wrong answers knowing no-one would contradict him. His team even emailed this office once or twice saying we had got an answer wrong, but Elvis had got them right.

    21 Questions (Ep 56) Enhanced Trivia! Questions on Steroids!

    In this Ep of 21 Questions by Trivia Tribe Mike will ask you about a famous singer, a famous actor who is actually female (but he doesn’t reveal that straight away), a celebrity chef and a Neil Diamond impersonator – of all things! Not many people know this but in the very early days of this podcast we hired a young academic named Isaac Newton as a researcher and question writer. We thought young Isaac had a lot of potential but it all went wrong when he came back from his lunch break one day, said something about an apple falling on his head, and immediately asked if he could take unpaid leave. We weren’t happy about it. We said ‘Isaac! We need you! You don’t seem to understand the gravity of the situation!’ and he said ‘Exactly!’, left, and we never saw him again… wonder what happened to him? 21 Questions is hosted by comedian and trivia host Mike van Acker.

    In this Ep of 21 Questions by Trivia Tribe Mike will enquire as to your knowledge of one of the most famous actors in the world, a popular berry that is actually an imposter and is in fact only pretending to be a berry, and a movie that involved an actor that was doing some singing, and a singer that was doing some acting. It’s quite a lively ep! Not many people know this but in the 1970s Rod Stewart was pursuing a young lady that wasn’t particularly interested in him - which was an unusual experience for Rod! On one of the rare occasions she would take his call he mentioned that he had just scored 20 out of 21 on a recent ep of this podcast (the silly duffer didn’t know there are two Ls in ‘llama!) and she was impressed, saying ‘Intelligence is sexy! Let’s go out for drinks sometime soon!’ Rod wrote ‘Do You Think I’m Sexy’ about that time. We’re happy to have helped! 21 Questions is hosted by comedian and trivia host Mike van Acker.
