2. Whats your favorite Trivia memory?
Last year, about 40 hours in, I was on air when one of my questions came up. As I was reading it on air, I realized I had never finished writing the question and it didn’t actually ask anything. I made up the majority of the question while I was reading it.

2. Favorite Trivia question?
Well I’ve written some pretty good ones for this year, but last year’s “What word was forgotten by John Peel as he introduced Melt Banana for the first time on his show” was a pretty good one. I came up with it on the spot. The answer is “pilot.”
