It’s a home box office of trivia with Go Fact Yourself!

Ashly Burch is a YouTuber and comedian who was a recent guest on episode 177 of Go Fact Yourself. She joins us as co-host.

Lilan Bowden is an actor, perhaps best known for her role in the Netflix series “Murderville.” She’s had an extensive career across film and TV. But she’s been especially affected by her Disney series “Andi Mack,” and how much the role endeared her to kids.

A Martinez is known by public radio listeners as the host of NPR’s Morning Edition. He’s been a part of public radio for years. But before that, he made his name (literally!) in the world of sports radio. That’s also where he learned some… unique interviewing skills. He’ll explain.

Areas of Expertise:

A: The TV show “Veep,” the movie New Jack City, and the 1980s Los Angeles Lakers

Lilan: The TV show “The Comeback,” the YouTube show “Ms. Rachel,” and The Jim Jones Cult aka “The People’s Temple”

What’s the Difference: Taylor Swift

What’s the difference between a tailor and a seamstress?

What’s the difference between fast and quick?
