A lovely trivia show

A trivia show where interesting questions are posed and it is awesome to hear the cast work through them while doing your own pondering

My favorite podcast

Questions are asked, jokes are made, and answers are stumbled upon. Lateral is the only podcast I’ve listened to every episode of, so I guess that speaks for itself.
