Random Pursuit (from Game Show)

Two first-timers, a second-timer, a third-timer, and an old pro walk into a game show. It’s not a joke, it’s the 35th edition of Random Pursuit! And we put a new-to-Erika edition of Trivial Pursuit, the 25th Anniversary Edition, thoroughly through its paces. Thank you Listener Matthew!

Random Pursuit returns! With a first time contestant (we think), three regular contestants who have never won before (but who we still love), and one contestant who has won several times (but doesn’t remember any of those victories). Who will win this time? And will they remember it?

It’s a family and friends edition of Random Pursuit as every contestant on this, the 33rd Random Pursuit, has a direct connection to host Erika. Sometimes even through family bloodlines! That’s all great, but how will all these friends feel after they have to answer questions of increasing and random difficulty?

It’s the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who! And what better way to celebrate the history of a TV show that has often been a little loose on the rules with a special edition of Random Pursuit with three versions of a game that are a little loose on their quality of questions: Doctor Who Trivial Pursuit!
