84: Ben Coughlin

Tangents: A Trivia Workshop Podcast

Ben Coughlin joins us from Michigan for his first attempt at building a quiz, hoping to find some questions about The Office, Parks & Rec, US Geography, and Sci-Fi. He runs a very successful pub quiz at his family business, Bayne’s Apple Valley in Freeland, Michigan. So we spent the first half hour of our visit talking about the pub quiz business, and that got pretty industry-specific, so we may save that chunk for a special bonus episode combined with some of the other quiz hosts and owners we’ve had on.
