I mentioned the excellent PodQuiz podcast a few days ago and the latest edition has just been released so I thought I would give it a quick overview to give anyone who has not discovered James Carter's excellent weekly podcast yet a taste of what it is all about!
This weekly Podcast has been going for nearly seven years now which is a fantastic achievement and indeed all the previous episodes can be downloaded from the website. They are usually released every Friday, not sure on the time but I usually download them around 6pm. It is free to download and you can get it from the Pod Quiz Website or at itunes. Each Podquiz episode lasts around 15 minutes but that includes a 3-4 minute song each episode (usually great unheard of music).
Episode 359 is another fun entry into the series. As always the show opens with a music based round and this time it is four pieces of pop music in which you have to spot the connection. The connection this week is simple but I could only name one of the songs meaning I didnt get the connection until he gave the answers at the end. This round is always fun and there are a variety of different ways he presents the music round to keep it fresh (i.e. mixed songs, backwards songs and Midi versions).
There are then usually 3 themed round of 5 questions each and I really enjoyed this weeks round on Bells and managed 4 of the 5, learning something along the way as I usually do with Podquiz.
James slotted a fun round of Famous Voices in this week as well which had excerpts of interviews with famous people to identify which I found much harder than it sounds! Still another example of the variety that is always inherent here!
The final round was good selection of Literature questions and it rounded off a cracking episode. Podquiz 359 is a good place to start in discovering this podcasting gem!
James clearly puts a lot of effort into producing Podquiz, its well presented with good quality sound and gets straight to the point each week with no padding or filler. For any quizzing fans whatever your interests or abilities this is a very entertaining Quiz related podcast and the best I have heard by a long way.
