Joseph Williams from Vendor, Arkansas and Donald Fuller from Rochester, New Hampshire both make their Tangents debut in this episode. Joesph was looking for questions on history and the Food Network while Donald’s categories were World War II and video games. You’ll have to listen to see if any of those subjects came up!

Hey, it’s been a while! The busy season for trivia night fundraisers around here has meant there’s been little time for editing the podcast, so we’ve gone a bit silent here for a few weeks. Happily, we’re back now with a great episode and two great guests. And bear with it for a bit - Keith’s audio gets better after a headset change.

Keith was looking for Theater, Oscars, Math, and The Simpsons - and he reminds you to support your local public library!

Links from his segment:

• The Nevermind the Music podcast.

• Learned League, BP Trivia, WTF, Triviality, Skilletbrew

Chris was looking for Professional Wrestling and Personality Disorders - and he invites you to subscribe to his podcast Skilletbrew Trivia!

Links from his segment:

• The You Are Not Broken podcast from Dr. Kelly Casperson.

• Trivia by Brian at The Lone Buffalo by Tangled Roots

Thanks to Keith and Chris…and thank you for waiting so long for this episode!

Since just a couple of months into this podcast, the gap between recording date and publishing date has been getting wider and wider, and has reached about 16 weeks(!) at this point, which is just nuts. In an effort to narrow that gap, you're about to be bombarded with players...beginning with this episode featuring BOTH David Kantorski and Nanci Skinner!

They've both appeared multiple times before, so need no introduction here. Just enjoy, and stay tuned for the upcoming flood.

You might remember Bryan from seven episodes ago when he built a great quiz for sports fans. This time around he was looking for questions on 90s Music, 90s Movies, or The Big Bang Theory. If you haven’t heard his first appearance yet, maybe go check that out first, then give this one a listen.
What has he been up to?

Watching Florida Gators football and finishing off the 2025 MLB season.

What can he recommend?

A book called Top of the Rock: Inside the Rise and Fall of Must See TV by Warren Littlefield

What’s he looking forward to?

An anniversary trip to the Dominican Republic.

Where does he quiz?

When he can stay awake, the Tuesday Sunday Night Trivia Workshop Quiz on Twitch.

Thanks Bryan!

Author and Illustrator Dustin Resch is familiar to everyone who listens to the other trivia podcasts, but he makes his Tangents debut this week - just in time for the official release of his new children’s book Octavio. It’s been available for pre-order for a bit, but starting 1/1/26, you can get your hands on it at most online and brick-and-mortar booksellers. Be sure to listen to this episode to hear the real story about the octopus that inspired the book! For the game itself, he was in search of questions on Aaron Sorkin TV, MCU Films, Classic Rock, Grunge Music, Ocean Creatures, and Animals. Surely something from those categories came up…right???

Episode Links:

What has he been up to?

Getting his new book Octavio published after an 8 year journey and working on new projects. It hits shelves on January 1, 2026 and you can find it at any of the places below:

• Amazon

• Barnes & Noble

• Bookshop.org

• Target

• Walmart

What does he recommend?

Podcasts like Trivial Warfare, Triviality, Throwback Trivia Takedown and other stuff he’s been a guest on. And children’s books like This is How You Know: How Science Happens by Kristen W. Larson and Illustrated by Cornelia Li.

Where does he quiz?

Mostly online quiz leagues, and also Wednesday nights at a microbrew bbq house called Six Capital Brewing.

Thanks, Dustin!
