Christian Hunt On Hosting Trivia In The DMV

Christian Hunt, a sales account executive at Odyssey and longtime trivia host in the DMV area, joins The Sports Junkies to discuss his passion for hosting trivia nights at bars across D.C. and Virginia. He founded Capital City Showcase in 2008, launching trivia events in 2014, which expanded significantly post-COVID as bars sought engaging content. Hunt emphasizes the inclusive, pen-and-paper format of his trivia nights—like the popular event at Bread Soda in Glover Park—to prevent cheating and foster community. He shares insights into the Gen Z-dominated crowds, the importance of balancing pop culture and nostalgia in questions, and the growing trend of hybrid events like comedy, karaoke, and trivia combined. The hosts also explore the rising popularity of 'kink and draw'—naked trivia—discussing its appeal and social stigma, while humorously debating whether they could ever make it to Jeopardy, with Hunt admitting he’s close to 70% accuracy on practice tests.
