Season 1

Chuck and Sean, the founders of Trivia Mafia, started a podcast. It's called No Brains, No Lightbulbs. Each week you can play a few rounds of trivia with Chuck and Sean plus a guest. In addition to trivia, the crew will field the sort of goofy questions your trivia team might ask you while you're waiting for your host to score your sheet. It's your trivia night, except now it’s a podcast.
