Last term, I interviewed Lawrentians about what pieces of entertainment and media got them through the summer of lockdown and isolation. This term, I’m doing the same thing, except it’s my turn. Each week, I’m giving my comfort food, pop-culture and art suggestions for the dreary winter we’re facing. What’s something you can watch, read or listen to that takes your mind off of the real world? Well, let me tell you.
Okay, so, I promise that this is the last Great Midwest Trivia Contest related content you’ll see in the paper until next year. This and the winners announced in the Features section will be it, and then we’ll be out of your hair. This term my column is about the silly pieces of culture that give us comfort while the world is less than comforting itself and a cornerstone of Trivia is the vast ocean of meme culture it draws upon and, in turn, creates. Welcome to your crash course guide to the action questions of this year’s Great Midwest Trivia Contest. If you’d like to follow along and see the creative output of all the teams go to the Discord server provided in the QR code and search through the #action-question-submissions text channel.
