We will always listen to the aircheck versions of the Trivia Intro with sweet melancholy, especially this one, as it would be the last to feature Jo McMullen-Boyer.
The first Trivia Intro was made in 2001. While the basic format has changed, we have tweaked and tweaked. In 2010, we made our first “toss” to the Trivia hosts and announced their names in the piece. Another watershed year was 2015, Game Of Trivia when our toss to the hosts was met with almost show-stopping laughter from The Goatmother, Jo.
There was video that year, and since then we crafted the final segment of the intro to elicit maximum reaction from Jo. This included placing a video camera in the studio beginning in 2017 with Codename: Trivia. See the archive from that year and subsequent entries.
The Goat Posse always seeks inspiration, however, Jo was a very deep well and we will miss her as a catalyst for why we convene every year.
