Welcome to Podcast Wednesday, with your weekly (until I run out) list of awesome podcasts to listen to. This time, I'm gonna talk about one of my favorite weird subgenre of podcast: Quiz shows! I love that you can both be entertained and learn all sorts of odd facts.
Ask Me Another
Ophira Eisenberg and Jonathan Coulton host this quit show, where people compete in a variety of games for the honor of winning a Rubik's Cube. And mostly for bragging rights. There's usually a celebrity guest as well. This is a smart, funny, clever show that's been on the internet air for years now.
The Incomparable Game Show
The Incomparable network has a host of shows, and one of those that that show up on the feed from time to time is whatever game is being played on Game Show. It could be one of several. My favorite is Random Trivia, where guests compete by answering questions from a whole stack of Trivial Pursuit games.
Go Fact Yourself
This is the new kid on the quiz block, with only 6 episodes out. 2 celebrity guests give topics in which they claim to be experts, and after answering some general questions, they get quizzed on one of those topics each. On hand, there are actual experts to correct and explain.

I LOVE "Ask Me Another" - although I usually listen to it on the radio when I'm out and about on the weekends.
One of my favorite podcasts is "Stuff Mom Never Told You" on the How Stuff Works Network. One of the co-hosts of that show is the owner of Bossed Up and is leaving (sobs) to host her own BossedUp Podcast. It's launching March 1.

Fair enough. I also like "Stuff You Missed in History" but don't listen regularly.

Podcasts are awesome! I can't say I'm that into any of these, but I do love me some Jason Stapleton and Joe Rogan (he's a great interviewer even though I don't always agree with him politically).

Counterpoint: NPR is awesome and has awesome podcasts, such as Pop Culture Happy Hour, which I recommended in a previous Podcast post.

I listen to entirely too many podcasts and am perpetually behind. I think you may have just ruined my life.
