  • 21 Questions (Ep 64) That Some Would Argue Should Have Been Ep 63 But Whatever!
    Jun 22 2026

    In this Ep of 21 Questions by Trivia Tribe Mike will ask you about a city in Europe, a river in the USA and a pretty decent wall in China. Along the way Mike will say disparaging things about two female literary heroines and one former American president. It’s quite a lively episode!

    Not many people know this but Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture did not originally contain the cannon blasts for which it is now famous – but he knew it was missing something. Two days before the Overture’s first performance he was listening to this podcast and heard the question: Which homophone is both a large calibre weapon and a musical term for a round like 'Row Row Row Your Boat’? and he realised what the piece was missing! A quick trip to Guns ‘R Us and he was good to go!

    21 Questions is hosted by comedian and trivia host Mike van Acker. It’s a short, sharp trivia podcast where Mike gives you the answer to each question before he asks the next one so there’s no need for paper, pens, teams or an autographed photo of Anson Williams.

    Jun 24 2026

    In this Ep of 21 Questions by Trivia Tribe Mike asks about a famous basketballer, an infamous business type and a theme song from a 1980s TV show that became a hit - even though the show it was from didn’t really…

    Not many people know this but around the time of Marie Antoinette’s beheading she had just discovered podcasts and it’s fair to say she loved ours in particular. We received a letter from her basically saying ‘I’m a loyal listener and I think I’m about to be put to death – any chance of a rescue?’ Now, we love our listeners here so Mike immediately dispatched the 21 Questions Search and Rescue Mercenaries but sadly they arrived just a bit too late. But in Marie’s honour there’s a question in today’s ep about a French word. Best we can do at this late stage…

    Jun 16 2026

    In this Ep of 21 Questions by Trivia Tribe Mike asks about a type of belt – but not the type you’re thinking about. There’s also a question about Buckingham Palace, a tourist landmark in America and a fried fast food that they named a TV show after. Crazy times!

    Not many people know this but on June 12, 1987 when U.S. President Ronald Reagan said "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" he was actually talking about a paywall that the Russians had put on this podcast so its citizens couldn’t listen in and learn about the rest of the world. Gorby completely misunderstood and tore down the Berlin Wall instead - and we’re very glad he did! Freedom for all oppressed peoples we say!

    Not many people know this but back when Carly Simon was writing You’re So Vain she originally had a reference to this podcast in the lyrics. It went ‘You’re so Vain, you probably think you’d get a perfect score on 21 Questions’ but we said ‘No’ when her publishers asked us for permission to mention us, and we only did that because we didn’t want to get caught up in a Kanye/Taylor type feud…

    Not many people know this but back in 1813 when Lawson Blaxland and Wentworth were crossing the Blue Mountains in New South Wales they very nearly turned back because they couldn’t get a mobile signal and thus couldn’t listen to this podcast - the network coverage was very patchy in the early 1800s.

    Not many people know this but when Adolpho Sax invented the saxophone he was going to call it the Adolphohorn, but his wife said it was a bad idea. She used to listen to this podcast and it made her much more worldly than her husband, who really just liked to tinker about in his shed when he could have been listening to this podcast with her, enjoying some quality couple time and maybe even learning a thing or two along the way. Never mind. But, Thank you for your support Mrs Sax!.
