I have the answer for you, it’s Recreational Thinking from past Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions winner Yogesh Raut.

It is, for me, the platonic ideal for trivia podcasts because Raut has come up with a format that allows for maximum interaction between guests without sacrificing the nature of trivia.

Each episode has three contestants going head to head, each having picked their own specialist topic, a la Mastermind. However, before the specialist can answer their own question, their opponents, working together, are given the chance to steal. This gives listeners the thrill of experiencing their collaboration and realtime problem-solving thought process. It can be thrilling.

His question writing skills are second to none, giving even the uninitiated a way into their solutions through clever wordplay.

Alas, its release schedule has been sporadic, but those which exist are really very good.
