Telling The Tale of Trivia
In ancient Greece, it was common to find statues of the god Hermes (messenger of Zeus) or the goddess Hecate (goddess of childbirth, wilderness, and land of the dead) at the street corners. Hermes’ name originated with the Greek word "herma" meaning a stone cairn used to mark roads and pathways. The Greeks thought that the spirit of Hermes would reside inside these piles of stones, protecting and guiding travelers. Hecate’s job was to ensure that people didn’t take the wrong road, so pillars were erected at crossroads to please her. The cairns and pillars built for Hecate and Hermes were also considered to be altars, so passersby could pay homage to the two gods as they traveled, hoping for a safe journey. Travelers customarily added stones to the cairns to win the favor of the gods.
Of course, any time roads and pathways meet, people also meet, and they pass the time gabbing. With so many cairns and pillars handy, they could chat with each other and worship the gods at the same time. Altars and statues of Hermes and Hecate were so plentiful that Hecate became known as Trioditis, which is Greek for ‘one who is worshipped where three roads meet.'
When the Romans began to adopt Greek gods as their own, they re-named Trioditis, giving her a new name that meant ‘three roads’ in Latin. Eventually her name entered our language meaning ‘things of little importance’ or ‘useless or obscure knowledge’ such as those petty details exchanged where three roads meet: Trivia.

The question is not, “How much do you know?”
The question is, “How much do you want to learn?”
We live in an age of endless information—and precious little delight. Audiences scroll, skim, and forget. What they truly crave are moments of wonder: the irresistible “Did you know?” facts that stop them cold, make them smile, and demand to be shared. Trivia, when done right, isn’t about memorizing facts; it’s storytelling, powered by curiosity. And nobody does that better than Janet.
Trivia podcasts are booming, but most fall into the same trap: hosts mistaking information for entertainment. Janet is the antidote. She’s not an amateur fact-collector—she’s a professional writer with four decades of experience transforming obscure truths into memorable, laugh-out-loud, can’t-wait-to-tell-someone stories. Her work doesn’t just inform; it sticks.
Janet’s writing has one simple, powerful mission: spark connection. Her pieces are designed to make listeners turn to the person next to them and say, “Guess what I found out today.” She delights in absurd historical footnotes, forgotten inventions, unlikely coincidences, and strange-but-true human moments. These aren’t lectures. They’re conversational gems—perfect for podcasts, short-form audio, video segments, newsletters, and social sharing.
In an industry that proudly calls itself “infotainment,” Janet happily claims the title “info-fluff.” But don’t let the light touch fool you. This is carefully crafted writing, honed over decades, built on pacing, surprise, humor, and narrative payoff. Janet understands how to lead an audience, how to plant a question, and how to deliver a punchline—whether that punchline is hilarious, astonishing, or quietly brilliant.
