About the show
Not quite trivia. Not exactly storytelling. Sort of both, kind of neither.
Each week, Trivia, Sort Of hands you one true story – allegedly true, anyway – the kind that makes you go "wait, is that real?" in a few minutes, give or take. No categories, no scoring, no real pressure to know anything going in, or honestly to know anything by the end either. Just a strange, specific, surprisingly decent piece of the truth, told the way a friend might tell it to you, assuming they got the details mostly right.
If you're the person who reads the museum plaque, falls down a Wikipedia hole at midnight, or turns "did you know" into a personality trait – this is more or less for you.
A few minutes. One story. Every week. Approximately.
