Edit: I’ve gone back to the very beginning of what’s available, and they are significantly more enjoyable. Ben , Carmella and Chris are great balances. Jonathan isn’t as unbearable, so maybe he’s just getting burnt out. Maybe I’ll jump back into newer episodes and see if it feels different now...Read full review »

I love trivia, and have been getting into trivia podcasts while I drive for work. This one pops up a lot, so I gave it a try. Unfortunately, I won’t be listening to any more of it for pretty much one reason: Jonathan. He’s rude and condescending to his guests. He berates people for missing...Read full review »

Great trivia podcast!

Johnathon is becoming more and more annoying. Whines about everything and has to explain every thought he has even if it’s not relevant. Cuts people off. Argues everything and is wrong half the time.

I have been listening to TWA for 5+ years and it has been delightful for my commute and my love of trivia. However, ever since adding Zahkia I find it extremely hard to get through an episode with her. Her voice and unnecessary squealing is so obnoxious and hard on the ears that I want to claw...Read full review »

I’m not confident that this show is well researched. Listen for entertainment only, and get your information elsewhere.

Hi from Canada! This podcast is the best, even if your not necessarily a trivia nerd. It’s clean, so I can listen to it, there hilarious, and well versed in trivia. I also listen to the real weird sisters all the time, and loved your guys crossover episode. I wish I could go on that crossover so...Read full review »

I didn't know Ben had left, he was the best. And Chris brought in the element of the regular guy. I am relieved to read I am not the only one who finds Zakia hard to tolerate.Read full review »
Music. Lover via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/24
I thought it was just me, but after reading a number of reviews I see I’m not alone. Zakia is annoying, I find myself telling her to shut up while listening. Her laughing at anything she says is annoying if not maddening. I have deleted episodes just based on her hosting, without listening at...Read full review »
DNels0764 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/19/23
On one hand, it’s fantastic. I love the content, and the questions are always fascinating and fun. On the other hand, Zakia’s addition as host is just rough. I thought Carmela’s nervous laugh was difficult to hear (although I must say that it has gotten so much better as she spent more time...Read full review »

She is highly annoying. She talks incessantly and is the worst decision TW has made. I’ve been a listener for about four years, and Chris and Ben added so much to the show. I only listen when Zakia is not on.
mtfoster1s via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/23
I enjoy this show but the one thing I have noticed that if you aren’t in the inner circle of friends of the hosts they don’t use questions submitted. The hosts are great! Really wish 400 was like the other centennial episodes though.
Mbowers85 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/11/22
One of the great things about this show is that I get to learn some very interesting facts and some very useless facts but at least I am being entertained while learning. The hosts change around to switch it up which makes it entertaining and the educational aspect of it is truly priceless. I...Read full review »

I do like this podcast a lot, it’s a great resource for anyone who is practicing for pub trivia. I’ve been listening for several years now, and the reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because I think the main players/hosts (not generally the wonderful guest players and hosts) are getting a bit...Read full review »
captca via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/05/22
First and foremost, excellent questions and wonderfully structured game. I’ve been listening to TW since 2018 and subsequently branched off to other Oakes Media Group shows. Johnathan really knows what he’s doing and the rest of the guests and co hosts are star caliber trivia players....Read full review »
Delon Eckles via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/22
I’ve downloaded several trivia podcasts, but this one is by far the best. I love pub trivia and this really brings that vibe to the podcast platform. The intellectual banter and fun that the teams have as they search for answers is great! It’s appointment listening for me on Sundays!...Read full review »

What happened to Chris & Carmela? Zhakia is so obnoxious that we stopped listening and moved to Triviality instead.
thcddvvgjc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/22
I've been listening for years and it's usually a good game with good questions... But Jonathon please stop chewing the scenery - your ego is overwhelming the show. You chased Chris off and when people give joke answers on easy 1-2-3 questions.. maybe relax. Everyone who gets on or...Read full review »
StvePoly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/03/22
I read through these reviews and cannot believe that no one addresses the fact that the main host Jonathan constantly has spit in his mouth that you can hear in every word he says. I can hear it sloshing around as he speaks; it’s like he needs to swallow. It has made it nearly unlistenable for...Read full review »
shelby_bradley via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/29/22
Checked back in after taking a 6 month break and have to echo the comment made by others. Jonathan’s ego/attitude makes the show unenjoyable.
Desiree Dillon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/29/22
I try listening in but I often end up turning it off as Johnathon is just….difficult to listen to. It feels like he always has to have the last word in any situation or talk and it’s just unnecessary. Otherwise like the format just feel like it could have a finer tooth with editing and Johnathon...Read full review »
R00berry via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/18/21
Found this through a friend and mostly love it. Great questions and like the longer format for when doing longer drives. The host Jonathan can be a hard pill to swallow and can often come across as condescending (though I don't always feel he's trying to be). Just remember you can fast...Read full review »
Blaxewell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/21
I’m currently a Patreon subscriber and have been for years, but I’m not sure how much longer I can take. Jonathan constantly retcons the host’s questions, which makes the show far less enjoyable. He takes everything way too seriously and is an awful sport (whether it be not answering a question...Read full review »

Do you love trivia AND morning zoo crew radio energy? Can you name the poet who wrote The Rime of the Ancient Mariner AND aspire to owning a pontoon boat in the Ozarks? Do you know the difference between the brewing processes if lager and ale AND you’ve referred to IPAs as “hipster beers”? Can...Read full review »

As someone who has been a longtime fan of both bar trivia and trivia-based game shows, this podcast has been a gift for the past few years. I play it every night while I cook dinner and play along with the contestants/hosts!
ericgothyearbook via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/21
Jonathan is still condescending to other hosts/guests, and generally treats people like crap, which makes it unlistenable. That is unfortunate because it could be a good podcast.
Kirlojo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/21
As a trivia host and writer, I don't often get the chance to play trivia. But this podcast gives me the opportunity to play along, learn a few things and be entertained by terrific hosts. As I spend large chunks of time driving (for a separate job), Jonathan, Chris, Ben and the gang really...Read full review »

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to find a good pub style trivia podcast, TW is by far the best... the discussions at each questions makes it fun to play along with, and the questions are amazing! This is way better than having questions thrown at you and the answers at the end of the...Read full review »

Poor research and the moderator apparently didn’t graduate from middle school? When naming African countries the moderator not only got half of the names wrong but also said countries which weren’t even IN Africa. Amateur and embarrassing.
shannon493 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/20
Loved this podcast when I originally found it about a year and a half ago. Listened to almost every episode. Now it has become very awkward and cringe-worthy and I only listen when I’ve run out of new episodes of other podcasts. Jonathan’s know-it-all, “well actually” personality is almost...Read full review »
krhud4 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/02/20
Great questions, but Jonathan is extremely obnoxious, forces his answers on his teammates, argues whenever he is wrong, and exceedingly braggadocious about his intelligence. I stopped listening for a while because of this, and tried it again. It’s only become worse.
Bjaustin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/20
Look forward to a new episode hitting my playlist. Well put together podcast that is both fun and educational. I would pay if I could for more episodes, but unfortunately society says I have to make mortgage payments. Keep up the good work, enjoy what all 4 of you add to the show!
Maimo34 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/18/20
This is the BEST trivia podcast I know. You guys are so funny, great questions, and it is very entertaining. I just recently started listening and I love that there are so many episodes to listen to even though I am not a patron, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to listen to all of them! I really...Read full review »

Upon my first listen, there was a question about black widow spiders. One of the guys referred to it as “poisonous”. They are VENOMOUS, not poisonous. There is a big difference.
AKench47 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/11/20
They drag the trivia in with nonstop talking and laughing at their own comments. Luke easily be cut down to 20 minutes of actual trivia. Talk less and more questions. It is trivia after all... 30 seconds a question is still to much. Also, more historical trivia would be nice. I feel like these...Read full review »

Found this show when searching for shows to fill the void left by the absence of Good Job Brain. It has now become my first choice for a good trivia fix. Since I am all about girl power, I am team Carmella all the way as she provides the balance that some other trivia shows could use and she...Read full review »
ftriv via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/28/20
The questions are typically very good. Carmela is a great host as is Benjamin. Other parts of the show make it hard to listen to. The joking with each other can quickly come across as passive aggressive behavior and makes it awkward to listen to at times. Also the constant breaking into song is...Read full review »

I’ve loved trivia for years but have never connected with hosts on other podcasts. I have listened subscribed and become a Patreon supporter so that I can have all episodes.

Not only do we have to listen to constant inane laughter and Carmella finding the weirdest reasons to bring up her age (omg, we get it, you’re the youngest), but unlike other podcasts who’ve backed off patreon now that most are out of work because of the global pandemic, this podcast has done the...Read full review »

Long time TWA lurker here. It took me a while to find a trivia podcast that I liked the format. This is by far my favorite. I laugh, I learn and I can’t stop listening.
shellie667 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/12/20
Happy to see they’re using their platform to have a conversation about a topic that has been silenced for too long because it may make people feel “uncomfortable” or whatever the case. Spread it!
Capn Nubs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/10/20
Could be a great Trivia Podcast but for them shoving their politics down your throat every now and again. I guess they have to show how "woke" they are.Read full review »
