Episode Intro

Got a map? Because we’re getting Lost this week with Lost Trivia. That early 2000s series had everyone talking about the mysterious island and its occupants.

We’re back to our normal episodes after our extra-long special 300th episode last week, so it’s three rounds of ten questions each.
