Pod of Wonder is a podcast that creates an RPG world before your very ears. Each week, a group of friends takes a random Wikipedia article, rolls some dice, and turns fact into fiction in fifteen minutes. We've made a wrestler out of a fast food mascot, turned Rosie the Riveter into a worker's rights struggle, and made screaming nuns into a tourist trap. New episodes every Wednesday!

Buckle up for this one. Jeopardy champ, Jen Jazwinski gave us our best test of the new rule limiting players to five questions in a row from the same category. Without that limit, we might still be recording. I won’t give away any spoilers, but I think it’s safe to say she managed to find at least one of her specialty subjects. It’s a fun one, so e…
