Broadcasting from the Furthest Reaches of Space
Trivia hosts trapped in deep space. A cranky engineer. An escape pod that runs on correct answers to trivia questions. An array of fascinating guests. Test your knowledge of history, pop culture, science, geography, and just about any other topic our AI can dream up!
Live Shows
Wanna build a team and play? We have trivia shows every Tuesday night. During quarantine, we’ll be broadcasting on Zoom every Tuesday at 8:00 pm Eastern. When it’s safe to go out, we host a weekly show at Linda’s Bar and Grill in Chapel Hill, NC. And you can bring us to you for your event (live or online)!
Podcast
We bring comedians, writers, data scientists, and other interesting folks aboard our escape pod to answer trivia questions. And we’re relentlessly pranked by our engineer and pod-cat. Find Trivia Escape Pod on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and most other major podcast platforms!
