Episode Intro
The clock is ticking here at the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. This week, for episode 294, we have 24 Trivia. The early 2000s action thriller series was huge hit, especially with its “real time” storytelling mechanic.
As always, it’s three rounds of ten questions each. I’ll ask the question, we start the timer, and then I’ll let you know what the right answer is. If you’re looking for rules on how to play or score cards, visit DorkyGeekyNerdy.com.
I’m your host, Brian Rollins, and time’s a-wastin’. Let’s go.
