Description
Tangents is a unique quiz podcast that lets the players control the game by selecting the subjects from a list of “tangents” related to each question. The game keeps going until you miss three questions, so the goal is to build the highest score you can and get on top of the leaderboard. The trivia is based on the difficulty level of an average pub quiz, so it should be accessible for a wide audience. We cover a wide range of subjects like movies, TV, music, sports, specific pop culture themes, and academic subjects.

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

2025/12/31
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???

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.

Just a Jaunty Journey with Jeopardy Juggernaut Jen Jazwinski (114)
2025/12/21
Buckle up for this one. Jeopardy champ, Jen Jazwinski gave us our best test of the new rule limiting players to five questions in a row from the same category. Without that limit, we might still be recording. I won’t give away any spoilers, but I think it’s safe to say she managed to find at least one of her specialty subjects. It’s a fun one, so enjoy!
Episode Links:
What has she been up to since SporcleCon?
Bowling, the church choir and committees, and co-chairing the Lincoln Award committee.
What’s she looking forward to?
Getting back to Mexico.
What can she recommend?

THIS ONE IS FOR MABEL. R.I.P.
In-Cider Quiz Information with Ben Coughlin (112)
2025/12/02
Ben returns for his second game - and just in time for the busiest time of year for his family business in Michigan. Before we got into the game, talked a LOT about the pub quiz business as he’s building a great one there at Bayne’s Apple Valley. I chopped most of that conversation for time, but it might make its way into a special episode soon. In this one, Ben was looking for questions about Parks & Rec, Star Wars, and the MCU. I hope you enjoy Ben’s company as much as I did.
Episode Links:
Where and when is his pub quiz?
Tuesday nights at his family business Bayne’s Apple Valley in Freeland, Michigan.
What does he recommend?
Barry with Bill Hader, Spaceballs, Fleetwood Mac, The Freddy Jones Band
Thanks, Ben!

Ian Schulze IV: The Search for Spock (111)
2025/11/25
Ian’s back for his fourth run at the game, hoping to beat his previous high score of 22 and looking for questions about Star Trek and Pink Floyd. He is one of those players who, thanks to the magic of podcasts, you can hear over time getting better and better at quizzing. His secret, as he mentions in this episode, is a system of flash carding - and he has generously made those available to the public using the In Rainbows PWYW pricing model. If you’re trying to get better, go buy some of Ian’s stuff on Kofi.
Episode Stuff
What has he been up to since his last appearance in April?
Hiking the Long Trail in Vermont between Canada and Massachusetts with his dog Toby.
What does he recommend?
Brain Ladle Trivia, Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Murderbot

Discussing Recency Bias with My New Favorite Mike, Mike Brownstein (110)
2025/11/17
Mike’s back for his fourth game, in search of questions on hockey, baseball, and American politics. Unfortunately, a pretty good chunk of audio from early in the recording was lost, but it didn’t affect the actual trivia part of the show - just be prepared for the game to start earlier than usual. Always good to have Mike on.

What’s he been up to since his last appearance?
Teaching and traveling. He had a trip to Minnesota and visited Surly Brewing and Leinenkugel’s.

2025/11/11
By now, you’ve heard her on most of the PTE network podcasts and Triviality, but Anne Putnam finally makes her Tangents debut this week and what a treat it was to record this episode. She was looking for questions about animated TV & movies, Disney, and 90s music but I think she was pretty much up for anything, and hopefully she’ll be back soon - or I’ll be forced to release the outtakes. ;)

Looking for Steel City Quizzers with Monterey Salka (108)
2025/11/04
We have another Pittsburgher in the hot seat this week as professional chef Monterey Salka searches for questions on obscure foods and song lyrics (ideally from before 2015). On a side note, she’s currently looking for a pub quiz team with room for one more in the Pittsburgh area, so if that’s you, let me know and I’ll get you connected.
From the Episode:
What’s she been up to?
Just started a new job as a chef at the Pittsburgh headquarters for a very popular language learning app. It’s a demanding job, but she loves it. She’s also been remodeling her house in her free time.
Where does she quiz?
Eleventh Hour Brewing on Thursdays with King Trivia
Fat Cats
Strange Roots in Millville on Wednesdays hosted by Pittsburgh Bar Trivia
If you and your team play at one of those places - or somewhere else you think she’d enjoy, let me know and I’ll get you together.

Completing the Frenemy Set with Sara Callori (106)
2025/10/14
Listeners of the Frenemy Trivia Podcast know that there are four hosts of that show - Tim, Brittany, Baney, and Sara. Listeners of this show may have noticed that one of those hosts has never appeared on Tangents…until now. We finally collected them all! I thought maybe I’d exact some revenge here since Sara thoroughly stumped me on my last appearance on her show, but she came ready to play. No spoilers here, but no revenge was achieved. Yet!
Stuff from the episode:
What’s she been up to?
Just returned from a professional development trip with very little sleep and a lot of alcohol.
What can she recommend?
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers
And of course, Frenemy Trivia - the podcast she hosts along with Tim, Brittany, and Baney.
What’s she looking forward to?
SporcleCon 2025! (Note from the present: She did go, and by all accounts, had a blast.)
Where does she quiz?
Learned League online and the occasional pub quiz with the folks at Pour House Trivia.
What did she plug?
Besides Frenemy, remember that teachers often spend their own money on their classroom supplies, so support your local teachers however you can, and check out Donors Choose to make that easy.

Tempering Expectations with John Speas (105)
2025/10/06
The braver Speas brother returns to the hot seat this week with an interesting goal - searching for "anything weird". He came to the right place.
Adam still hasn't signed up.
Stuff From the Episode:
What's John been up to?
He just got back from a trip to Europe and at the time of recording, he was getting ready to return to work after summer break.
What does he recommend?
A podcast called The Soundtrack Show, hosted by David W. Collins.
What's he looking forward to?
Releasing two upcoming albums. Keep an eye on Spotify!
Where does he quiz?
Online - and with his less adventurous brother Adam on Throwback Trivia Takedown.
*** Be sure you listen to the end of this episode ***
I’ve got a special round of trivia for you this week, and there’s a prize on the line. When you’re ready, you can email your answers to [email protected] - and include your name and location.
