  • The Inquizition s03e14 The Family
    2024/08/24

    Welcome to season 3, episode 14 of The Inquizition a podcast for quiz and trivia lovers everywhere. Contestants battle it out to become the Masters of the Inquizition with Irish quizmaster Luke Ryan.

    This was a special episode to record, our second recording in the USA and first episode in New Hampshire. I was there visiting by sister and brother, Liam and Bridget and it was wonderful to record with them again, their partners and their mom, Heather and her boyfriend, Jay!

    In this episode, the title comes from the family connection of the guests, and Christie made the glorious shambolic mafiaesque cover imagery!

    As all the contestants are American, there were a lot of American based questions, including national creatures, football (soccer ball!), coastlines, presidential trivia, US time zones, some scandals (there have been a few!)

    There is also a round on recent European history to see how well our contestants were paying attention to matters across the pond for the last few years.

    And as an English teacher, a matter close to my heart, the difference between Irish/British English and American English so there in a round testing our contestants’ knowledge of that

    Not only was there a quiz storm raging inside, there was a glorious storm raging outside for some of the quiz so you may hear the odd roll of thunder, plus the odd dog!

    Team 1 (Houston) – Bridget Willse, Heather Peterson Cantagallo and Jay

    Team 2 (Reno) – Liam Sherwin, Kennedy Pysz and Ian Willse

  • Inquizition Episode s03e12 An A**hole of Wasps
    2024/08/10

    Welcome to season 3, episode 13 of The Inquizition a podcast for quiz and trivia lovers everywhere. Contestants battle it out to become the Masters of the Inquizition with Irish quizmaster Luke Ryan.

    As it was another fine summer evening in Prague, we went to Letna Beer Garden to record.

    In this episode, the title comes from some debating about the respective annoyance and importance of wasps, the assholes of summer we believe they should be collectively known by. The quiz has a parks and recreation theme to suit our outdoor location so expect plenty of questions about that.

    We have a new round called Going the Distance to tax our trivialists along with some of the usual rounds. Also do you know which country the waltz, mambo or lambada dances come from? How is your trivia about the game, Monopoly, or what sports Moneyball and Happy Gilmore focus on? We also have some science to balance the leisure including some about the Periodic Table.

    Also, I may have missed a correct answer by team Reading in the final round, my apologies for that Natalia and Tejas, though it wouldn't have affected the final scores.

    There is a bit of background noise as we recorded in a beer garden, so I hope it doesn’t take away from your enjoyment of the episode. Other than that, hope you like it!

    Team 1 (Sex) – Christie Elizabeth (Canada), Martina Rúčková and Ivan Rúček (Slovakia)

    Team 2 (Reading) – Natalia Skowronek (Poland) and Tejas Gangavaram (India)

  • Inquizition Episode s03e12 Not Great Not Terrible
    2024/07/27

    Welcome to season 3, episode 12 of The Inquizition a podcast for quiz and trivia lovers everywhere. Contestants battle it out to become the Masters of the Inquizition with Irish quizmaster Luke Ryan.

    All the guests and Luke were part of a quiz team in spring, 2024 at our Friend, Alex’s weekly quiz in Prague. We went under the name, Stairway Else Matters, and we won the season! We had an afternoon out to spend our winning vouchers and recorded this episode.

    In this episode, the title comes from some references to Chernobyl, the TV show, and the tragic nuclear disaster. Diego Maradona, the Medellin Cartel and Soviet pollical reform get mentions. There’s a new round, inspired by our quiz team, Stairway Forever, and a suitably frustrating final round featuring Tom Cruise, Phantom of the Opera, Steven Spielberg and a certain comet.

    There is a bit of background noise as we recorded in a beer garden, so I hope it doesn’t take away from your enjoyment of the episode. Other than that, hope you like it!

    Team 1 (Bluff) – Joel Imhoof (USA) and Eric Jokiel (Germany)

    Team 2 (Pond) – Christie Elizabeth (Canada), Amanda Tully (USA) and Tenneal Rachael (Australia)
