Last Call Trivia Podcast

Last Call Trivia Podcast is a weekly show that features questions that previously appeared at live Trivia Nights in bars and restaurants across the U.S. We believe the most exciting part of Trivia Night is the discussion that the questions spark and the connections those conversations create. That's why the Last Call Trivia Team focuses on "showing their work" and talking through their journey to the answer. Each game starts off with one round of general knowledge Trivia, followed by a "bonus question." The second round of Trivia is themed toward a specific topic each week. Then, the game wraps up with a multi-part final question. Get ready to join in on the Last Call Trivia Team to see how far your curiosity can take you!

Episode #176 of the Last Call Trivia Podcast begins with a round of general knowledge questions. Then, we’re turning a new leaf for a theme round of Former Names Trivia!

Round One

The game starts with a Language Trivia question that asks the Team to translate a Spanish warning sign.

Next, we have a History Trivia question about a Black educator who served as a political advisor for presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft.

The first round concludes with a Sports Trivia question about specific events within an Olympic sport.

Bonus Question

Today’s Bonus Question is a follow-up to the Sports Trivia question from the first round.

Round Two

We’re always learning and growing around here, but it’s nice to remember where we started. That’s why we’re reflecting with today’s theme round of Former Names Trivia!

The second round begins with a Comics Trivia question about a newspaper comic strip that was originally titled Suck Egg.

Next, we have a Celebrities Trivia question that asks the Team to identify the successful R&B and funk musician based on his given name.

Round Two concludes with a Toys Trivia question about the first toy ever advertised on television.

Final Question

We’ve reached the Final Question of the game, and today’s category of choice is Phrases. Hopefully this will be a piece of cake for you!

For this Final, the Trivia Team is given four common phrases and asked to name the missing word from each one.
