    For those that don't know, TechDif is one of Tom Scott's other projects, where he and a group of mates have done various forms of panel show over the years. Their best stuff was Citation Needed — if you've never seen that, there's an entire playlist of videos to enjoy. They went through a phase of trying out other things that I don't think was quite as successful (although still worth watching), but Reverse Trivia feels like they're back on form. Pure banter and nonsense, four guys messing around and having a bit of fun with general knowledge.

    Apparently there's going to be three more episodes, coming out weekly. Very exciting!

    I've been a fan of tech diff for a long time but I fell off when they started doing live shows... For me it ruined the intimacy and it just didn't work for me personally so I stopped watching. I was ok with the somewhat recent "I did a thing" series (don't remember what they called it, sorry) but I'm glad they went back to their roots with this most recent episode.

    I was really hoping we'd get more of these since Tom "retired" from his main channel content, so it was great to see them randomly pop up in my feed the other day!

      Kind of ironic, given how they started out iirc

        Considering I haven't seen and am not aware of any early live content, I'd say it's perfectly in-line 😁 As far as I know they started as a podcast, but I'm unfamiliar with that. I started watching...

        As far as I know they started as a podcast, but I'm unfamiliar with that. I started watching during the early days of citation needed.

    I like Tom a lot, but the meat-to-banter ratio of this is just too heavy on banter for my tastes. And I like banter! Made worse by how willing everyone is to talk at the same time as someone else.
