What’s It About?
Each episode of FAMILY ROAD TRIP TRIVIA PODCAST is devoted to a movie, TV show, or more general topic like pop culture in the 1980s or Halloween trivia. The host, Brittany Gibbons, is joined by one or more guests who compete to answer trivia questions along with the listeners. There's a 10-second pause after each question to allow time to come up with the answer, and listeners give themselves a point every time they're correct. Questions range from easy to difficult. For example, a Harry Potter episode asks who the oldest Weasley child is, followed by a tougher question on the origins of the Sorting Hat.
Is It Any Good?
While the show does deliver in terms of family friendly trivia questions, listeners aren't offered much more. Don't expect a lot in the way of backstory, just the reading of the questions followed by the answers. The episodes average 15 minutes in length, so this podcast may be a good fit for shorter drives or school runs.
Kids and families eager for friendly competition will probably enjoy this podcast, but it's not for those looking for unique content. Expect episodes about movies and TV shows with broad appeal, like Star Wars, Friends, and Disney villains. The main draw of this podcast is being able to compete in trivia suitable for all ages while on a drive.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
