Lockdown Trivia
Hosted by Dalton McGhiey · EN
Welcome to Lockdown Trivia, the "unlock your brain" podcast quiz show. My name is Dalton McGhiey and I'll be your host as we choose four of your own expert categories and explore them together as we try to unlock the trivia game one key at a time. Build streaks of correct answers to get the keys you need to open harder and harder questions. You can play solo, with a friend cooperatively, or against a friend competitively; there's something for every kind of player on Lockdown Trivia.
At the end of each episode, I will discuss the writing and research that went into each episode to figure out best practices and workshop how best to write trivia both in the podcast environment and in the pub trivia environment.
New episodes will come out every Wednesday morning to help you get through the middle of your week. You can sign-up to play Lockdown Trivia with the link in the description of each episode. I can't wait to have you on the show and I can't wait for you to listen to the show as we work together to try to "unlock your brain" one key at a time. What are you waiting for? Come sign up and let's play some trivia!
