Trivia Over Tea--a Podcast

Arts/Entertainment
A quiz show in the manner of Jeopardy with questions that will tax your brain.

 If you like the quiz show, Jeopardy, you might enjoy tuning into the weekly podcast, Trivia Over Tea, hosted by my grandson, Matthew Cook, at triviaovertea.podbean.com. Every Wednesday Matthew posts a new episode. Each one features two contestants who answer questions based on the interstate highway system (which Matthew memorized when he was in school) and just about any other subject you can think of. The winner gets a teabag.

 

 Matthew does a great job, and in my not-so-humble opinion he should be allowed to be a guest-host on Jeopardy. He has a smooth delivery and is knowledgeable in the way Alex Trebek was. His scorekeeper is Carter Zenke, and my other grandson, Mason Cook, wrote the theme music for the show and also supplies some of the questions.

 

The contestants are friends of Matthew, and since the show is produced via Zoom they can be currently located anywhere in the world. He is always looking for more contestants, especially if they have a big presence on social media.

 

 Here are some of the questions from a recent show:

 

 

 Who is the longest reigning monarch of a sovereign country in history?

 

 

Which of Alfred Hitchcock’s films includes the famous shower scene?

 

 What is the name of the field of study of insects?

 

 

 If you can answer these questions and have memorized the interstate highway system, there may be a teabag in your future.
