  • Spotlight - "Draught Daze" by Jeff Bimm (featuring Jay Borsom, Jeremy Goodson, Tim Dippel, and Bryan Nash)
    Apr 16 2024

    Back in January, Verboten was featured on the feed for the popular show Escape This Podcast, and that exposure was amazing, so we want to be able to pay it forward and spotlight an excellent podcast that we think you'll love! Draught Daze is the newest show on the PTE Network, conceived and hosted by my dear friend Jeff "Jeffy Donuts" Bimm. It takes all the fun and faux-competitiveness of a fantasy sports draft and turns it on its head, drafting in categories like nu-metal bands, breakfast cereals, and sitcoms. Teams are scored through the use of randomly-selected predetermined metrics, so coaches aren't sure JUST how their teams will perform until they hit the combine. Enjoy this special two-part episode, featuring Verboten host Jay Borsom, Pub Trivia Experience host Jeremy Goodson, Frenemy Trivia host Tim Dippel, and Geek Trivia host Bryan Nash, first released in March 2023, and follow the feed for more!

  • Spotlight - "Tangents: A Trivia Workshop Podcast" by Russ Friedewald (featuring Jay Borsom)
    Apr 9 2024

    Back in January, Verboten was featured on the feed for the popular show Escape This Podcast, and that exposure was amazing, so we want to be able to pay it forward and spotlight an excellent podcast that we think you'll love! Tangents is like if pub trivia met a Choose Your Own Adventure book; it's one of the most innovative game formats for trivia we've ever seen, and Russ's personality and voice are a welcome guide through each topsy-turvy episode. Enjoy this episode, featuring Verboten host Jay Borsom, recorded and released in December 2023, and follow the feed for more! Tangents on Spotify ----more----
