Welcome to Trivia for the Ages!

Welcome to Our Blog!

Ted and I are excited to (finally!) have our podcast up and running. This is a brand new adventure for us and we are looking forward to the journey. We welcome any questions and suggestions you might have; please email us at tedandjami@triviafortheages.com.

We have decided to keep our episodes short and concise, getting right to the trivia, since this is the format we enjoy most as a family. So we have created this blog for anyone who is interested in finding out more about our episodes, including extra facts and things that didn’t make the final cut.

And on the off-chance that you would like to read more about our family, there will occasionally be stories and/or pictures that relate to some of our topics.

Thanks for visiting!

Jami and Ted
