The Thursday Trivia Podcast

31: 31

5 questions on the number 31. Music this week is “Malice In Wonderland” by Mouth’s Cradle from the Free Music Archive.

30: The Stanley Cup

5 questions on one of the greatest (physical) trophies ever, The Stanley Cup. (I don’t mean the best sporting competition, but it’s close.) Music this week is “Ivy (There’s No Forgetting)” by Tom Fahy from the Free Music Archive. There’s also a bit of “The Crystal Cat” by Dan Deacon used in the preview for next week’s premiere of The Aulos on infinitespace.

29: Americana Spelling Bee

In lieu of five questions, five words, phrases and names for an Americana spelling bee.

Sounds this week come from Freesound (by Joe Powell, Peter Keyster, and Freesound users RHumphries, jobro, and ERH). I did this in part because I knew I couldn’t include full songs with this week’s format, and in part as sort of a teaser for The Aulos, a music playlist podcast as part of infinitespace, a new podcast omnibus I’m working on. The infinitespace website will launch on Monday, with the first episode on Friday - and new infinitespace episodes filling in the gap weeks between ThursTriv episodes.

Hey look I made a thing.

My newest mental_floss quiz is up. It’s on official state beverages.

28: "Weird Al" Yankovic

10 questions about “Weird Al” Yankovic. Music this week is “Polkarama” by “Weird Al” and “Pixel Peeker Polka” by Kevin McLeod.

27: Holidays, Part 2

This week I’m asking questions about holidays around the world, live from Lincoln Center (specifically an empty Irene Diamond Building). Music for this episode is Paneye’s “North Sea Radio.”

26: Holidays, Part 1

5 questions on holidays in the United States. Two weeks from now I’ll be asking 5 questions on holidays around the world.

Music this week is “The Electricity Song” by Matheatre from the Free Music Archive.
