The WikiPedia Listener Challenge
Every episode, we will have a Wikipedia Listener Challenge. To find out the current challenge, listen to the end of each episode of the TTP.
What is it, you ask? The WLC is a way for you, our beloved listener, to challenge yourself and earn a shout-out on the show. Imagine the marketing exposure possibilities! It's sort of difficult to explain, but it's actually quite easy to understand.
The official rules are as follows:
Jeff and Sarah will give you the titles of two Wikipedia articles - the start page and the end page. The object of the challenge is to find the connection between those two articles by linking from article to article with as few links as possible.
Here's an example that we used in Episode 1: Connect Kate Winslet, the actor, to Hunter S. Thompson, the writer. So all we had to do was use the following articles:
So we counted that as four links from start to finish. Get it? Pretty easy!

The official rules are as follows:

- You may only use the links in the body of the Wikipedia article. You may not use sidebar links, references at the bottom of the page, or any pages outside Wikipedia.
- Once you have the connecting articles, email us at [email protected] or call us at 707-TRIVIA-6. All you have to do is list, in order, the titles of each article you linked to. If you're one of our lucky chosen ones, you could get a shout-out on an upcoming episode!
- In your email, tell us your first name, where you're from, and how much you love our show! (Make sure you tell us how to pronounce your name properly, otherwise we'll butcher it. We promise.)
Here's an example that we used in Episode 1: Connect Kate Winslet, the actor, to Hunter S. Thompson, the writer. So all we had to do was use the following articles:
- Kate Winslet
- Finding Neverland (movie)
- Johnny Depp
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (movie)
- Hunter S. Thompson
So we counted that as four links from start to finish. Get it? Pretty easy!
