Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast

It’s time to get epic. This week, for the 253 iteration of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast, it’s Greek Mythology Trivia. 

To say this has been requested a lot would be an understatement. It’s hands down the most requested topic. So, why have I avoided it? Well…it’s mythology, so finding a “right answer” can be tricky. So, these are going to be what’s commonly accepted as the answers based on Bullfinch’s Mythology and Wikipedia. 

That’s the caveat. If you disagree with me, please feel free to let me know. If this works, expect more mythologies in future episodes. 

Things are getting strange here at the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. For episode 252, we have that marvelous magician, Doctor Strange. 

Like always, it’s three rounds of ten questions each. Each round is, in theory, harder than the one before it. If you’ve got feedback or want to find out how to support the show, visit DorkyGeekyNerdy.com. 

Before we dive in, I do have a quick request. Can you leave a review of the show? If you’re enjoying things, please leave a review on whatever app you use for podcasts. Especially Apple Podcasts, I seem to be light on reviews there. If you have already left a review, you have my thanks. 

And now, on with the show. 

It’s Episode 251 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. This week, we finish our trio of 20th century war trivia episodes with Gulf War Trivia. I was in high school when this started, so it’s not something I studied in a textbook. I have friends that served in this war and they have interesting stories. If you were there, thank you for your service. 

Just like always, DGN has three rounds of ten questions each. If you need rules or score cards, visit DorkyGeekyNerdy.com. 

And now, on with the show. 

It’s Marvel time. Another superhero movie hits screens this week, so I thought it was a good time to do a deeper dive into Ms. Marvel’s past. Specifically, the one currently appearing in comics and the MCU. Captain Marvel got her own showcase way back in our second episode, so check that out if you haven’t already. 

It’s the 250th episode of Dorky Geeky Nerdy! We also broke 250,000 downloads in October, so it’s milestones all around. Thank you all so much for your support. For our second November episode, we’re continuing our wars of the 20th century theme with Vietnam War Trivia. 

As a Gen-Xer, I grew up with adults that fought in this war and heard so many first-hand tales of what it was like. If you served, thank you for your service. I know it was brutal. 

With that said, let’s get this show started. 

All right troops. Line up for inspection. It’s trivia time. Since November 11 is Veterans’ Day or Armistace Day, I thought a trio of war trivia episodes would be in order. These three have all been requested over the last 5 years and I’m glad to finally have them on paper (so to speak). We start off with Korean War Trivia. Of the many 20th Century wars, this seems to be the forgotten one with little information about it. So, you’ve got your work cut out for you. 

As always, Dorky Geeky Nerdy has three rounds of ten questions each. I ask the question, you get a timer, then we sort things out. OK? 

If you need rules or scorecards, visit DorkyGeekyNerdy.com. 

I think that’s enough prep work, let’s start the show. 

Check behind the door and around the corner because something’s out there. That’s right kids, we’re kicking off October with the first of four horror-themed episodes. This week, it’s Slasher Movie Trivia for episode 245 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. 

Now, there’s no hard and fast rule about what constitutes a “slasher movie”, but I went with some lists of popular films in the subgenre to come up with these thirty movies. 

Did I miss one you love? Let me know on Spotify or Social Media. Oh, speaking of social media, if you’re on BlueSky, come follow the show. Just search for Dorky Geeky Nerdy and you’ll find us. I also have a link to it on DorkyGeekyNerdy.com. 

I hear approaching footsteps so let’s get going. 

Can you find the hidden words? In this mini episode of Dorky Geeky Nerdy, I need you to find the words that can be found with the letters in FOREST. All the answers will be words using some or all of those six letters.

Got it?

OK, here we go. 

Today we’re breaking the rules and reading some offensive books. 

Hey gang, it’s episode 244 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast and this week, we’ve got Banned Books Trivia. This week, the American Library Associate has their Banned Books week. They call attention to censorship around the country and highlight books that some people may not want you to read. 

Some of these might surprise your while others…not so much. 

If you need rules or score cards check out DorkyGeekyNerdy.com. You can also find a list of all the books I’ll mention this week for your reading pleasure. 

And with that, let’s get started. 

Got a few minutes for a quick ten-question mini episode?

Sure, you do. This is the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia podcast and I’ve got a quick bonus episode for you. This time, I’m going to give you a country and you tell me what lies directly to the South of it. We did something similar a few months back with countries to the North. If there are multiple countries that fit, go with the one that shares the largest land border.

Got it?

OK, here we go. 

Time to get your chakras unblocked because it’s trivia time. Hey gang, this is episode 242 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. This week, we’ve got a fan request, Avatar: The Last Airbender Trivia. 

As we do every week, it’s three rounds of ten questions each. If you have a need for rules or score cards, check out DorkyGeekyNerdy.com.

I covered The X-Men way back in Episode 18, but I think this is the first time I’ve had a standalone episode for one of their members. I’ll have to rectify that in the coming season or two. What’s your favorite X-Men member? Let me know on social media or via Spotify. 

As always, this episode has three rounds of ten questions each. When you’re done with this episode, please take a moment to leave me a review on your podcast directory of choice. If you’re watching on YouTube, give the show a like and subscribe.
