The Incomparable

259 Just Like Yugoslavia

It’s time once again to salute Uncanny Magazine Kickstarter Backers, and salute them we do, with questions! Difficult, specific, mostly-American questions!

251 Nature’s Sausage

Recorded live in the courtyard at the LAX Marriott at Gallifrey One in February 2025! Listen as random podcasters and one astrophysicist are ambushed during a nice brunch in the sun with the recording of the 42nd edition of Random Pursuit. Do you know where your towel is?

248 Cognac and Milky Way

In this episode of Random Pursuit, knowledge of the works of John Lucarotti will come in handy more often than you might think!

246 Bare Butts and Flubber

Zip up your vest and look out for dinosaurs—Random Pursuit is back with some silly questions and some very dark ones. At one point, Steven asks “What is wrong with Trivial Pursuit!?” Related: content warning for harm to a pet.

241 Pittsburgh

This time on Random Pursuit, we learn who’s a loss leader, whose gut is death, and who you should toss your questions to.

239 The Hamptons Children’s Edition

It’s Random Pursuit time again! In this edition: Star Treks, children’s golfing habits, a first-time player, very few ghost points, and more!

237 In A Row

It’s the 37th (consecutive) edition of Random Pursuit, and it’s also time for our annual Uncanny Magazine Kickstarter crossover! Join us as our wonderful donors try to guess answers to questions mostly about things that happened in different countries than theirs.

236 Not For Export

It’s a special edition of Random Pursuit! This week, your host and scorekeeper join in on the fun, trying to answer questions from two editions of Trivial Pursuit sold only in Canada! How many Canada-specific questions will they get?

235 Triceratops on a Bicycle

Two first-timers, a second-timer, a third-timer, and an old pro walk into a game show. It’s not a joke, it’s the 35th edition of Random Pursuit! And we put a new-to-Erika edition of Trivial Pursuit, the 25th Anniversary Edition, thoroughly through its paces. Thank you Listener Matthew!

228 Opossum My Possum

Random Pursuit returns! With a first time contestant (we think), three regular contestants who have never won before (but who we still love), and one contestant who has won several times (but doesn’t remember any of those victories). Who will win this time? And will they remember it?

226 We Keep Our Rocks Modestly Covered

It’s a family and friends edition of Random Pursuit as every contestant on this, the 33rd Random Pursuit, has a direct connection to host Erika. Sometimes even through family bloodlines! That’s all great, but how will all these friends feel after they have to answer questions of increasing and random difficulty?

224 A Book Is Just A Really Long Song

It’s another episode of Random Pursuit! In this episode: a brand new contestant, an epic run, and which version of Trivial Pursuit will be Erika’s least favorite this time?

222 Genus IV: The Voyage Home

New year, new Random Pursuit! Join us the 31st edition to learn how Roman numerals work, a deep dive into one specific day in the history of one of rock and roll’s greatest bands, and an end result you will have to hear to believe!

218 The Cheese of Rassilon

It’s the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who! And what better way to celebrate the history of a TV show that has often been a little loose on the rules with a special edition of Random Pursuit with three versions of a game that are a little loose on their quality of questions: Doctor Who Trivial Pursuit!

215 That’s Embarrassing

It’s time for another special Random Pursuit/Uncanny Magazine tie-in episode! Join us as several Uncanny Magazine Kickstarter supporters compete for random trivia bragging rights in this, the 29th edition of Random Pursuit!

211 Backdoor Pilot For Yogi Berra

Recorded live at an undisclosed location, it’s the 28th proper edition of Random Pursuit! Listen as contestants get questions wrong, get others right, and hear Erika complain about selection editions of Trivial Pursuit…in person!

203 Elvis Has Left The Building

Random Pursuit joins the 27 Club! (Don’t worry, more episodes will be coming later).

201 Muppets Eating Other Muppets

It’s time for another edition of the edutaining Random Pursuit! Knowledge of island penal colonies is not required, but it is a bonus.

196 If You Weren’t Sweepin’, You’re Weepin’

It’s the 25th edition of Random Pursuit! Only one player can win, but the silver lining is everyone learns something, even if that something is what they don’t know about Trivial Pursuit!

189 Your Fifteen Minutes is Up

It’s the 24th instalment of Random Pursuit! How many times will Andy Warhol be mentioned? Will scorekeeper Annette be kinder to the contestants than Steven is? And which contestant will not survive for the next edition? Tune in and find out…

186 One More Astronaut

It’s Random Pursuit time! The 23rd edition of America’s favorite game show features first time contestants, astronauts, trees, starships, and some new questions never before asked on Random Pursuit!

183 So Many Questions About That Rhino

It’s a special Random Pursuit/Uncanny Magazine tie-in episode! Join us as two Uncanny Magazine Kickstarter supporters battle along with some familiar names from Random Pursuits in the past for non-random bragging rights!

The Uncanny Year 9 Kickstarter is LIVE (until August 22, 2022)! If you’d like to support this fabulous magazine, please check it out!

176 Venerable Boos Outfit

Random Pursuit returns for its 21st edition! It’s now old enough to drink, and you may wish to join in those exploits yourself when you hear the answers to some of these questions.

173 We Don’t Need No Stinking Badgers

After a long hiatus, Random Pursuit makes a triumphant(?) return. Well, it’s a return anyway! We have lovely players and decidedly un-lovely questions, which seems about right.

151 I Learned the Truth at Seventeen

We have a lot of new trivia blood in this episode! The scores are also pretty bloody, and Scorekeeper Steven makes no bones about it. At least there’s always fantasy in the adult box.

147 His Nose

This is another genre-editions only episode, in which we wonder where the heck the Doctor is, are overwhelmed by Harry Potter, and discover just how terrible the genre questions really are.

143 Unexpected Batman

In our first ever genre editions-only episode of Random Pursuit, we discover Kathy and Antony are trivia twins…mostly. Also, when in doubt, answer 18.

141 Do the Toilets Pay You?

Hope you’re ready to yell answers at your listening device again because Random Pursuit is back — with a new development! Erika finally admitted she needed help and convinced Steven to come on board to keep score (and occasionally read Wikipedia to us). How many mounties does it take to make a podcast episode? Listen and find out!

137 British Ghosts

This special episode of Random Pursuit sees Erika pulling players from around the Commonwealth to answer trivia questions that are largely American-based. Will the lone Canadian have an advantage? Will there be Lizzing? Will the Lizzing be confined to Liz? And just what do they have in Canadian shopping malls? All this, plus a whole lot of whispering on this episode.

And yes. Erika knows she accidentally awarded Liz a point she didn’t earn. Blame the ghost.

131 Boasting Mountains

It’s time to get random again! Another group of intrepid players gathers to do their best to avoid Chex Trivia questions. Is Fred Astaire the answer to everything? Is Dan a pile of ants? Just how much homework is Erika assigning? Listen to find out!

128 Who Is Lamargine Gumbody?

In this edition of Random Pursuit, a friendship is on the line. Will it survive a bunch of questions about geography and underwear? Listen and see.

124 Wayne Gretzky

From Wild, swingin’ Swaziland to the frozen north of Canada, there’s nothing better than getting a bunch of friends together to play trivia games — even when Trivial Pursuit changes how its own cards work. AGAIN.

116 Flubber Franchise

Once again a group of unsuspecting game players must answer trivia questions randomly selected from random editions of Trivial Pursuit! Plus there may be more Chex trivia—you never know. In this episode, our members of the World of People ponder many questions about the World of Places. Join us in the World of Podcasts, won’t you?

114 I Believe In The Juicy Rooster

From Chex Trivia about music, to Chex Trivia about TV, to Chex trivia about the ’50s and ’60s, this episode of Random Pursuit has it all! Also a bunch of regular Trivial Pursuit sets, including Doctor Who and Star Wars, but it really did seem like Chex showed up a lot.

108 I Hate People and Places

We didn’t get to play Random Pursuit at the Gallifrey One convention this year, so we got the group behind last year’s wacky installment back together virtually to play again. Will Liz go for the Prosecco? Did Deb get enough cheese and crackers? Is Jason cheating at dice? Your definition of “geography” will be changed forever!

98 K’on Bragh!

The trivia questions are random, the topics even more random, and yet the players keep coming back for more punishment! It’s the return of Random Pursuit, where it turns out that fandom is great, but trivia boxes designed to serve fandom are not. Not at all.

96 That Bear!

We’re back with even more randomly selected trivia questions from even more random editions of Trivial Pursuit! Star Wars! Doctor Who! Religion questions for kids! No subject is too obscure, and no question is too easy.

81 The Ghost Has Spoken

Look, not every Game Show features a bunch of us in a room in person drinking alcohol and answering trivia questions. But this episode, recorded live in Los Angeles at the Gallifrey One convention, absolutely does. The explicit box has been checked, so go to bed, Glenn’s kids, as Erika Ensign asks us trivia questions from a randomly shuffled set of cards from a dozen different Trivial Pursuit games.

79 Yelling at Rocks

We’re back with more random trivia from random trivia games! Now even more random, with the addition of even more editions of Trivial Pursuit!

74 Baseballers

Our game of random trivia returns, with players randomly assigned one of 72 different categories across 12 different boxes of Trivial Pursuit questions. From Doctor Who companions to very loosely defined Leisure questions, our contestants will truly be tested in their knowledge of random stuff.

72 You’re Rolling Like Terrible People

Random Pursuit returns! In this game, players have to answer questions from random categories randomly selected across 12 different editions of Trivial Pursuit! And this time things get a little dark… and a little blue. Glenn’s kids, look away! (And all other kids, too, probably). They say sex and death make for good drama… who knew they were for good trivia contests, too?

65 The Famous Mickey

Random Pursuit is back! Join a brand new panel of non-random players as they roll a nauseating number of sixes, learn all about Canada, and show off their barnyard animal knowledge.

64 Random Pursuit

A random selection of Incomparable panelists play a game of Trivial Pursuit where everything is random — not just the categories, but which of 10 different games of Trivial Pursuit the questions will come from! Who will emerge as the random trivia champion? Roll a die and find out.
