This is my favourite podcast. It features two contestants who are minor celebrities and asks them for three topics outside their field of work in which they are experts in, and then crafts a trivia quiz for them. Finally they bring in an expert to evaluate their responses, and the show is able to get some amazing experts who are a joy to listen to and usually the response from the contestent meeting the expert is incredibly wholesome.
This episode features Tim Russ so I thought the TenForward community might like it. There also some additional Star Trek trivia and personalities even during the part of the episode that features the other contestant Amber Nelson.
Tim Russ’s three topics are - Astronomy, Alien invasion movies of the 1950s and 60s, and World War II. You can find out more about why Tim was intereted in these topics.
Also noteable quote from the episide: “I think Tim might be the center of the universe!”
Wow that’s a great sci-fi summary for the show! Glad you liked it.
Geez, did I miss the Wil Wheaton episode? I think I’d remember that.
The Denise Crosby episode was really good. Walter Koenig came on as an expert one episode then he was a contestant the next episode so I think he really liked the show. Cirroc Lofton was alright and had a few trivia bits about his time on DS9 that was interesting, but I’d say it wasn’t great overall.
Anthony Rapp is just amazing. I think he talked more about Rent than Star Trek, but it was only then that I realized that I had seen him in both.
Already got a bunch downloaded. Lots to look forward to!
