    Jun 16 2026

Gorby completely misunderstood and tore down the Berlin Wall instead - and we’re very glad he did! Freedom for all oppressed peoples we say!

    In this Ep of 21 Questions by Trivia Tribe Mike will ask you about a city in Europe, a river in the USA and a pretty decent wall in China. Along the way Mike will say disparaging things about two female literary heroines and one former American president. It’s quite a lively episode!

A quick trip to Guns ‘R Us and he was good to go!

    Not many people know this but back when Carly Simon was writing You’re So Vain she originally had a reference to this podcast in the lyrics. It went ‘You’re so Vain, you probably think you’d get a perfect score on 21 Questions’ but we said ‘No’ when her publishers asked us for permission to mention us, and we only did that because we didn’t want to get caught up in a Kanye/Taylor type feud…

    Not many people know this but when Adolpho Sax invented the saxophone he was going to call it the Adolphohorn, but his wife said it was a bad idea. She used to listen to this podcast and it made her much more worldly than her husband, who really just liked to tinker about in his shed when he could have been listening to this podcast with her, enjoying some quality couple time and maybe even learning a thing or two along the way. Never mind. But, Thank you for your support Mrs Sax!.

    Not many people know this but when Elvis was kicking back with the Memphis Mafia at Graceland they would listen to this podcast and debate the answers. Elvis knew the guys would let him win no matter what so he would shout deliberately wrong answers knowing no-one would contradict him.
