5 Daily Trivia Questions

Five questions. Three to four minutes. Every weekday. That is the entire pitch for this Caloroga Shark Media production, and if you are looking for the absolute minimum time commitment trivia podcast, this is it. Each episode is themed — one day might focus on American Presidents, the next on Matt Groening, the next on Bob Marley — and the questions range from easy enough to boost your confidence to tricky enough to make you second-guess yourself. With 602 episodes since launching, the show has built up a huge catalog of bite-sized trivia sessions. The format is dead simple: the host reads five questions with a brief pause between each for you to think, then gives the answers. No lengthy explanations, no banter, no tangents. You are in and out in the time it takes to brush your teeth and make coffee. The show has a 3.6 rating on Apple Podcasts, and some listeners have noted that ads can feel intrusive given the ultra-short format. There is a subscription option through Caloroga Shark+ for ad-free listening if that bothers you. The thematic variety is strong — episodes cover everything from classic rock to world geography to famous actors — and the daily schedule means there is always a fresh quiz waiting. It is not going to replace a deep-dive knowledge podcast, but as a daily brain warm-up or a quick car ride distraction for the whole family, it gets the job done.
