Episode Intro

Ready to “dive in” to some trivia? I bet you are. Hey swimmers, I’m your host Brian Rollins and this is episode 239 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. This week it’s all about Aquaman Trivia.

He’s one of those iconic superheroes from the past and present, so it’s long past time we got into his history and his villains.

If you’re new to DGN, welcome. Every week we have thirty trivia questions about a different topic. We cover a lot of different things from sci-fi to fantasy to horror. And comic books like we’re doing right now.

Episode Conclusion

And we’re back on the surface. Everyone make it? I hope so.

So, we had Pirates and now Aquaman. I think my subconscious is trying to tell me I need a nice oceanside vacation.

What’s your favorite Aquaman iteration? I have to admit, I find Jason Momoa’s version to be delightfully fun. Let me know on social media or Spotify what you think. And what superhero I should cover in a future episode.

I’ll be back next week with another thirty trivia questions. Here’s something to mull over in the meantime.

If you’re studying things like canthus and lunula, what are you learning about?

I don’t remember the last time we had a science trivia episode. Roll up your sleeves and get ready next Wednesday.
