    Not many people know this but just before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon he and Buzz Aldrin had been listening to this podcast on the Apollo 11 spacecraft. Those two were very competitive and had a bet going - whoever got the better score would get to walk on the moon first. Neil won of course, and that’s why his first words on the moon surface famously were ‘That’s one great score for me - sucks to be you Buzz Aldrin’. Look it up!

    Not many people know this but when The Brady Bunch was being filmed the cast used to ‘warm up’ for the day’s shoot by listening to this podcast in character. Anne B. Davis (who played Alice the housekeeper) was a very knowledgeable woman but (as Alice) was not only often wrong but sometimes ludicrously so. One time she answered the question ‘how any days are in a leap year’ with ‘Shopping day, washing day and Valentine’s Day - not that Sam ever gets me anything’ leading to Florence Henderson (as Carol) to exclaim ‘Oh Alice!.... The producers liked that so much they made it a regular phrase in the show. We did that!

    Jul 6 2026

    In this Ep of 21 Questions by Trivia Tribe Mike asks about three British singers - Ozzy Osbourne being one but the other two are the answers to questions in the show so we’re not saying who right now! There’s also a lot of questions that do not in any way involve singers, British or otherwise!

    Not many people know this but King Charles III (who famously talks to his plants) now plays this podcast to them. It has absolutely made them smarter – the other day Charles walked into the Royal Greenhouse and one of the plants had arranged it leaves into a message that spelled out ‘I need nitrogen fertilizer please dad!’ We’re pretty sure that’s because of the nitrogen fertilizer question we asked in Ep 47. We're obviously quietly very proud...

    In this Ep of 21 Questions by Trivia Tribe Mike does not sing. We see this as a positive. There are also some very interesting trivia questions, but we’d like to think we manage that most shows, what with that being the whole point of our existence and all…

    Not many people know this but at the FIFA World Cup most of the teams relax after games by competing against other nations via this podcast. The Australian team is currently undefeated, but that’s mostly because they only challenge the teams whose first language is not English. Good thinking fellas!

    In this Ep of 21 Questions by Trivia Tribe Mike talks about Emelia Earhart and how it wasn’t her fault she went missing, the Italian flag and the Queen’s fave dog. And some other stuff. He also quotes the Rocky Horror Show but it’s totally contextual we swear!

    Jun 22 2026

    In this Ep of 21 Questions by Trivia Tribe Mike will ask you about a city in Europe, a river in the USA and a pretty decent wall in China. Along the way Mike will say disparaging things about two female literary heroines and one former American president. It’s quite a lively episode!

    Not many people know this but Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture did not originally contain the cannon blasts for which it is now famous – but he knew it was missing something. Two days before the Overture’s first performance he was listening to this podcast and heard the question: Which homophone is both a large calibre weapon and a musical term for a round like 'Row Row Row Your Boat’? and he realised what the piece was missing! A quick trip to Guns ‘R Us and he was good to go!

  • 21 Questions (Ep 67) Why Must We Complicate Everything?
    Jun 29 2026

    In this Ep of 21 Questions by Trivia Tribe Mike once again sings at you. We’ve asked him not to and we’re sorry that he just won’t listen. But, it’s only once and only one line from one song, and it’s from a famous musical. It could we worse, we guess. Otherwise, there are some really interesting questions in this ep and we think you’ll be entertained and informed, but probably not titillated.

    Not many people know this but Joan of Arc was a mad trivia fan. She was constantly upset that she was known as ‘the maid of Orleans’ - she asked people over and over to refer to her as ‘the trivia queen of Orleans, but it never caught on. Still, she never missed an ep of this podcast, and we’re grateful for her support.

    Not many people know this but in 1752 Benjamin Franklin was driving his wife crazy listening to this podcast at full volume whilst she was trying to have a nap. ‘For the love of God Benny’ she said ‘Turn that off and go outside and find something to do!’ Benjamin thought to himself ‘I’ve got that old kite in the shed – maybe Ill go fly that into the winds of the storm that’s brewing’. We’re so proud that we are an incidental footnote to that historical moment…
