Potent Podables

Run by Emily and Kyle, two former Jeopardy! contestants who actually stood behind those podiums and buzzed in under the studio lights, Potent Podables brings a perspective most recap shows simply cannot match. They know what it feels like to stare down a Daily Double with real money on the line, and that experience colors every episode in the best way. The format covers the week's games with detailed analysis of wagering decisions, category strengths, and buzzer timing -- the kinds of strategic details that casual viewers might miss but dedicated fans obsess over. They also throw in their own trivia quizzes, so you get to play along and test yourself against actual former contestants. With 287 episodes published on a biweekly schedule, the archive is massive. The show has a 4.6-star rating on Apple from 20 reviews, and the listener base skews toward people who track Coryat scores and have opinions about podium placement. It is the most analytically rigorous Jeopardy! podcast out there, and Emily and Kyle keep it accessible enough that you do not need a spreadsheet open to enjoy it. If you want to understand why a particular Final Jeopardy wager was brilliant or disastrous, this is the show that will explain it.
