Deeper, ever deeper, we penetrate Geeks Who Drink Pub Quizzes on the road to Geek Bowl IX!

Ever wondered who writes the Geeks Who Drink questions? This is your chance to find out.

Christopher provides unique insight into how questions go from the brains of their team of writers to appearing before you six nights a week at pub quiz. We talk about his favorite types of rounds, how often you’re going to see a “Recently In Stuff” round, the rounds everyone hates, and a whole lot more. It’s everything you’ve ever wanted to know about Geeks Who Drink keeps this perpetual motion machine of pub quiz humming.

We also talk to Christopher about his experience as a Jeopardy Super Champ. He’s a six-time winner, and he gives us a peek at what that whole process is like.

This will be the third of four episodes highlighting Geeks Who Drink Pub Quizzes. All throughout January, on the road to Geek Bowl IX, I’m highlighting a different aspect of this company. Why? I love geeking out, and I love drinking. I’ve played in 3 Geek Bowls, and if you haven’t gone before, you should go this year.
