This podcast hasn’t been updated since 2017, but you should listen to it if you ever hope to win Jeopardy. It was a weekly show that was part quiz show, part offbeat news show. The hosts—Karen, Colin, Dana, and Chris—are fond of pub trivia, cereal, portmanteau words, and animal trivia. “Good Job, Brain!” was born out of their love of sharing trivia and a successful Kickstarter campaign. One episode features “sticky words,” a sticky quiz about desserts and glue, and the story of a bizarre (but true!) molasses wave that devastated the city of Boston.

In this show, the Rooster Teeth crew talks comedy, gaming, movies, and projects they’re currently working on. The podcast’s roots lie in Rooster Teeth’s long-running YouTube series, Red vs. Blue, as well as live-action shorts and comedy gameplay. The popularity of the videos led to the weekly podcast, which is hugely popular among 15-25 year old males.

The show notes for each episode have lots of reference links and additional reading if you want to learn more about a particular topic. Each episode is approximately 45 minutes long and is released weekly.
