Welcome to Quizbeard number seven.  Today’s quiz is the same format as before – 25 questions over five subject rounds but, as always, there are 30 points available because you can play your Black Spot card on any single round before the first question of that round is asked, allowing you to earn double points on those five answers.

General Knowledge, History, Philosophy, Children's Television and Sport.  They're the five rounds of today's quiz, so get your Black Spots ready for Quizbeard number six.

Hello everybody and welcome to Quizbeard number six.  This is the third episode this week, so thank you for bearing with me if you've listened to all of them.  I'll try and do three again next week, if I can - as long as we're quarantined I think that I'll have time on my hands to do it. 

The rules are exactly the same this week - twenty-five trivia questions in five subject rounds, there are thirty points available overall.  You can play your Black Spot card on any one particular round and you get double points for that round, but you must declare it before the first question of that round is asked.

Please remember to like, subscribe and visit me at quizbeard.com and, now, let's get on with the questions.

General Knowledge, Gold, Soap Operas, Books & Authors and Elvis Presley.  These are the rounds in today's quiz, so get your Black Spots out for Quizbeard number five.

Welcome back to another 25 question trivia quiz in Quizbeard number five.  This is the second episode in a very strange first week of quarantine and isolation as we all shelter indoors.  The method remains the same – those 25 questions can be spun into 30 points by players using their Black Spot card, which you can pin to any of the five subject rounds, just as long as you declare it before the first question of that round has been asked.  Doing so will grant you double points for each correct answer given in that round only.  

Four quizzes in and I’ve yet to hear of anyone claiming to have scored the full 30 points, but that could all change today with all the practice you’ve been having recently.  You can let me know how you get on in today’s quiz by visiting me on facebook, Instagram, twitter or youtube – all of which are linked from the Quizbeard website at Quizbeard.com.  Don’t forget, you can download and print answer sheets from the Quiz Kit page on the website, and free cut out and keep Black Spot card templates if you’re playing in groups.

Thanks again for all your messages and news since Monday’s episode – please be sure to keep those coming and, if you want to host your own Quizbeard live-play on Facebook Live or anywhere else, like the folks at the Isolation Station, please be sure to let me know so I can give you a mention.

General Knowledge, Africa, Actors & Roles, Space and Numbers.  They're the rounds in the quiz today, so get your Black Spots out for Quizbeard number four.

Unusually, this is the first of three quizzes I’ll be releasing this week – this one on Monday, another on Wednesday and the usual one on Friday.  This is mainly to give me something to do with my evenings during the coronavirus quarantine we’re all currently experiencing, so I hope you don’t mind the bombardment.  Thanks to everyone who has reached out this week with messages and comments.  The last quiz was deemed my many of you to be a little bit on the difficult side, but there were a some who achieved their highest scores so far – so you can never really tell.  A special thank you to those at the Isolation Station group who held a virtual online meetup via Facebook Live to play quiz number four last night – I gather a good time was had by all, and it was great to see people getting together online to play games.

Today’s quiz is the same format as always – 25 questions over five subject rounds but, don’t forget, there are 30 points available as you can play your Black Spot card on any nominated round before the first question of that round is asked, allowing you to earn double points on those five answers.

Please remember to visit the website at quizbeard.com and to like and subscribe to the podcast where available. You can now also listen to back-episodes of the quiz on YouTube and links are on the website now, along with links to all the other usual social media channels.

General Knowledge, Science, Ireland, Animated Films, US Presidents – they’re the subjects in this week’s quiz, so get your Black Spots ready for Quizbeard number 3.

 Hello all and welcome back for Quizbeard number three.  Apologies for the quality of today's recording – I’m well and truly stuffed-up this week, but have tried to speak as clearly as I can.  I have no doubt that many of you are listening to this in a state of self-isolation while the dreaded Coronavirus runs the whole world ragged, so I hope everyone’s keeping as safe and healthy as possible.  We’ve been holed-up indoors for the entire week and I know it’s a very strange time for everyone. 

Today’s quiz is the same format as always – 25 questions over five subject rounds but, don’t forget, there are 30 points available as you can play your Black Spot card on any nominated round before the first question of that round is asked, allowing you to earn double points on those five answers.  Please remember to visit the website at quizbeard.com and to like and subscribe to the podcast where available.  You can now also listen to back-episodes of the quiz on YouTube and links are on the website now, along with links to all the other usual social media channels.  Thanks again to everyone who’s gotten in touch with messages of support this week – it’s been great to hear from you and please keep them coming.

General Knowledge, Geography, TV & Film, Missing Members and Celebrity Daisy Chains – they’re the rounds on today’s quiz, so have your Black Spots at the ready for Quizbeard no.2.

Welcome to the second episode of Quizbeard, the weekly trivia quiz podcast with 25 questions spread over five subject rounds.  As usual, there are 30 points available when you earn double points by playing your Black Spot card before the start of any round.  You might notice I’ve changed things up a little this week and given the round titles out at the start of the show so that you have more time to decide which round you might prefer to play your Black Spot in.  This is thanks largely to listener feedback I’ve had from Quiz no 1 and I want to thank everybody who’s reached out and commented on that – I do appreciate the support.  Reports indicate that the average score in last week’s quiz was around 16 or 17 out of 30, so I was a bit worried that the questions might be verging on the difficult side, but most people I’ve spoken to seem to think that they represented a good cross-section of trivia, so expect roughly the same standard from now on.

Quizbeard has now been picked up by Apple and Google podcasts, as well as Stitcher, Spotify and some others, so you should be able to subscribe via your favourite podcast app by now.  Please feel free to leave a review on iTunes or whatever it’s calling itself these days and send me a message through the Facebook page, twitter or Instagram feeds.  At some point this week, I’ll also be uploading the first two quizzes to YouTube, so you’ll also be able to catch it there.  All links are, of course on the website a Quizbeard.com and you can stream the quiz directly from there if you prefer.

Welcome to the first edition of Quizbeard, a weekly trivia podcast quiz consisting of twenty-five questions and answers across five subject rounds.  It’s very simple to play – I’ll read out the questions and you can answer in your head, on paper or out loud with others, or however else you like.  If you’d like to play in competition against friends or family, you can download a quiz kit from our website, Quizbeard.com, which contains a printable PDF answer sheet with room for twenty-five answers.  

You can score double points for any one of the five rounds by playing what’s known as your ‘Black Spot’ card, and this again is simple to do: after you hear the title of any one round, you have until the first question is asked to declare that you’d like to play the black spot, so you’ve got to be quick!  For that round, and for that round only, you can award yourself two points instead of one for any correct answers you give.  This can be very useful if the round is a subject you in which you think you might score very well, and means that there are thirty points available across the whole quiz.  You can only play the black spot on one round, so choose carefully.  For more details, see Quizbeard.com.  If you’re playing against others, you can also download, as part of the quiz kit, some printable PDF Black Spot cards to cut out and keep.
