Episode Intro
It’s October, which means it’s time for some horror trivia. We’re kicking it off with The Walking Dead trivia. This long-running horror series seemed to be a good one to kick off the month. If you’re really into Zombies, check out our Zombie Movie Trivia back in Episode 248.
This is episode 297 of the show, which means episode 300 is just around the corner. For those of you who have been with me awhile, you know that means something a little extra. If you have comments, questions, or suggestions for the show, email me host at dorkygeekynerdy.com or use the contact form on DorkyGeekyNerdy.com.
