    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!

    Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Annette Wierstra, Erik Stadnik, Kyle Anderson, Nick Scott and Tony Sindelar.

    You wait around for years for another Trivial Retreat, and then two come along pretty much at once! See how our players adapt this time to coming up with questions to Trivial Pursuit answers, and whether or not they’ll fall prey to a Ponzi scheme.

    Jason Snell with Monty Ashley, Erika Ensign, Glenn Fleishman, Tony Sindelar and Kelly Guimont.

    232: Last Week is Not History
    Jun 5 2024
    It’s the third instalment of Trivial Retreat, the game where we play the original Genus edition of Trivial Pursuit backward, where players must invent or guess the questions and categories based entirely on what’s on the back of the card. Points are awarded partly on guessing the right questions, but let’s face it, they’re really doled out by how much (or how little) players annoy the host…

    Jason Snell with Antony Johnston, David J. Loehr, Shelly Brisbin and Brian Warren.

    It’s the return of Careers! The popular board game, this edition from 1955, involves contestants trying to be the first person on the moon, going out to sea, possibly becoming a farmer, and braving the dangers of uranium prospecting. No one said it would be easy.

    Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Monty Ashley, Shelly Brisbin and Cicero Holmes.

    It’s the eighth edition Mind Meld! And if you thought there couldn’t possibly be another set of categories our group of contestants could (mostly) agree on, then you’d be wrong! And being wrong in this game is not the right thing to do.

    Somehow, the answers to questions submitted by you, the listeners, about the Marvel Cinematic Universe have been stretched into three entire editions of Feuding Families! And we saved the best for last! Well, we didn’t, but we had fun playing, and we think you’ll have fun listening.

    Jason Snell with Dan Moren, Tony Sindelar, Chip Sudderth, Monty Ashley, Glenn Fleishman, Moisés Chiullán, David J. Loehr and Kelly Guimont.

    Apr 10 2024
    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?

    Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Deborah Stanish, Glenn Fleishman, Jean MacDonald, Lex Friedman and Shelly Brisbin.
