  • The Inquizition s04e14 MEERKAT
    2025/10/11

    Welcome to season 4, episode 14 of The Inquizition a podcast for quiz and trivia lovers everywhere. Contestants battle it out to become the Masters of the Inquizition with Irish quizmaster Luke Ryan.

    The episode is called MEERKAT from a picture I took at Leipzig Zoo in November, 2024. It is the first episode back after the summer break and what an episode it turned out to be. Want to know why, then give it a listen!

    There are questions relating to meerkats (obviously!), guitarists, there are some distance questions for places like Prague, Tbilisi, Berlin, Bonn, Vancouver and Seattle and a couple of questions about Liverpool FC, and much more!

    And apologies, for some reason, round 4 got lost during the editing process.
