291 USS Nope
Trivia, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Random Pursuit. Its 90-minute mission: to explore Star Trek Trivial Pursuit, to seek out new answers to new questions, to boldly go where no podcast has gone before! (And where no podcast should probably go again.)

290 Purple Polar Bear Parachute Pants
In this edition of Random Pursuit there’s a lot of guessing, many colours, and quite a bit of self-doxxing. Most importantly, a good time is had by all!

289 The Odyssey Would Like a Word
Once again, we bring together some lovely, generous Kickstarter backers who helped make Uncanny Magazine Year 12 happen! Will the cards be kind to a first-timer? Will there be lots of sports and too much math? As always, it’s up to the luck of the dice!

288 There Are Four Cats
In the return of the choose-your-edition edition of Random Pursuit, we bring back the same players with their same chosen editions, but this time we make sure they get more questions from their chosen edition. This is helpful…to some players…

July 22, 2026 Missed Connections 3287 A Portion of a Duck
Your favorite (and perhaps only) podcast game show about making connections to various words returns, with a battle between the Pacific Northwest and Big Oil Country(ies)! Nobody stare directly at Glenn’s mind. What are names, but words that are attached to people? These words mean something, somehow, but it will take a lot of time and effort to figure it out.
Puzzle written by Lex Friedman. Thanks a lot, Lex.

286 Technically Canadian
It’s the 50th edition of Random Pursuit! Erika was too lazy to do anything that took extra work, so this is basically a regular episode. But we do have a new player — who even tried to study! Plus, it’s mostly Canadians — and all players who live in Commonwealth nations, so maybe we can call this a slightly belated Canada Day episode?

June 24, 2026 Cursed Island (Part 2)285 There Used To Be Guano Here
And now, the conclusion! Having left our players (and our listeners) on a cliffhanger last time, a slightly diminished crew try to make their way through, and eventually off, the Cursed Island.

284 South By Northwest
Arrrr, it be another Parsely Games adventure, this time an old timey pirate adventure as our players visit ye olde Cursed Island! Avast! Hold hard!

May 27, 2026 Inestimable 4283 Dan Sold One Book to Every American
Disregarding popular demand, Inestimable is back with another installment that pits panelists against numbers and Glenn against himself. Scorekeeper Tony helps keep chaos at bay—or causes more?—by insisting on the correct number of U.S. states, what a pyramid truly is, and why Americans are left handed. It’s in this don’t-miss episode of Inestimable that we will forgive you for missing.
