First off, please understand that the trivia hosts to NOT write the questions. Our job is to provide the trivia that is written by our bosses (the owners).

I made a living doing it for 12 years in Glasgow, Scotland and personally, its great for me to see pub trivia spreading out from the UK and all across the world to relatively backwards countries like Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA.

You've got to get someone with personality to MC the thing, but I think you're on the right track with Sunday afternoons. The Belcourt might be too big, though, to get the right intimate feeling that a good bar brings.

Posted by Tom]]> Tue, 03 Mar 2009 11:04:11 -0600 Nashville Scene Trivia Time works well for the pubs because the first 90 minutes of questions are so easy, they keep everyone in it and buying drinks.
Still, we long for something more.
Posted by Mike D]]> Tue, 03 Mar 2009 09:53:38 -0600 Nashville Scene That some erudite raconteur* would decide to take it upon himself or herself to MC a proper pub quiz, with questions that reflect strong general knowledge and NOT a bunch of total trivia harvested from Google.
You got it right when you called "Trivia Time" ubiquitous. What they do is not what I'd call a pub quiz.
