Like Minds

Joey Bland won on Jeopardy! and then decided to build an entire podcast around the thing he clearly cannot stop doing: asking people questions and making everyone in the room laugh while he does it. Like Minds is a comedy trivia show where two contestants go head-to-head each week across themed rounds that cover everything from aviation to dinosaurs to furniture -- yes, furniture got its own round, and it was genuinely entertaining. Bland's background as a professional improv comedian means the show moves fast and the banter never feels forced. He has a gift for keeping the energy up between questions without steamrolling his guests. And the guest list is worth mentioning. Andy Richter, Jason Alexander, Helen Hunt, and Matthew Lillard have all shown up to compete, which gives the show a vibe somewhere between a late-night talk show and a particularly fun bar trivia night. The first season wrapped in December 2025 with 27 episodes and a live finale, and the host made a direct plea to listeners to share the show so Season 2 gets greenlit. With a 4.8-star rating on Apple from 38 reviews, it clearly struck a chord. Episodes run between 27 and 52 minutes, and the production quality is polished without being overproduced. If you have ever wished someone would combine the brainpower of a Jeopardy! champion with the timing of an improv comedian and the casualness of a podcast recorded among friends, this is exactly that show.
