Do you volunteer as Tribute? Well, this week we’ve got 30 questions on Hunger Games Trivia.

It seems weird that we’ve waited this long to tackle the mega hit series, but here we are. Maybe our own brush with the apocalypse will give a new appreciation for the popular post-apocalyptic books and movies.

When you’re done with this week’s episode, please consider dropping us a review on iTunes and/or Podchaser. These are great ways to spread the word about the show (and it makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside).

You can now follow the show on Instagram where we drop questions and trivia tidbits.
