Introduction
Welcome to the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. I’m your host and guide Brian Rollins.
This week, we’re dropping into the time machine to head back to the decade of peace, love, and some really good movies. If you’re new to the show, welcome. You can get yourself some rules and score sheets at our website, DorkyGeekyNerdy.com.
We have sixty-one other episodes, including one on 1950’s movies, if you’re so inclined.
The format of the show is pretty simple. We give you three rounds of ten questions each. I’ll read the question, then you’ll have five seconds to come up with the answer. Then, I’ll read the answer. Play alone or with anyone you’re quarantined with.
That covers the basics. Let’s get going.
