Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast

What We Do

The Benchwarmers Trivia Podcast is a trivia competition, specializing in sports. We have nine regular participants on the show, and rotate in various guests, sponsors, etc. as players. Different game styles, and question writers, keep the games fresh. The questions are gettable (most of the time), the banter is real, and the fun is constant. Come have a listen!

BTP History 

For years we had the OG sport trivia podcast with The Sport Trivia Faceoff. But after the host Brent Bollmeier ended the show in the spring of 2020, there was a void. Matt Dougherty & Josh Bohmbach had discussed starting a podcast previously, and Matt took this opportunity and reached out to people via The Crop, the Facebook group for Triviality.

Initially there was a group of seven regulars who started the pod A format was created, some test episodes were recorded, and the first episode was posted via Podbean on May 30th, 2020.

At the outset, two pods were released a week. After a year, the groups decided to scale back to one regular episode per week, and one shorter episode every other week available only via the Patreon feed for supporters of the program.

Over time, the group evolved to its current cast of nine. We now regularly release: One weekly full episode, a bi-weekly Patreon only “FastBreak” episode, a monthly OverTime episode, a monthly bonus episodes on the Patreon feed, and occasional The Naked Bootleg episodes.
