2nd Annual NSP Fundraiser!

An image announcing the second annual NSP fundraiser. It contains all of the vital data: that it's Noah and Louisa doing it, that it's on Tuesday, November 24th at 7:00 PM Eastern, held on @LNPGaceta on Twitch, and that it's to raise money for food banks. That's the important bits, but not the aesthetically pleasing ones, which is the center of the image, the fundraiser's coat of arms: on an azure field lit by New York sun and whose top corners are adorned with a sheaf of wheat and an ear of corn for Delaware, there are forests of peas and carrots, a river of what appears to be stuffing, and gravy-topped mountains of mashed potatoes. The shield is supported by two upright cornucopiae, each of which is holding the usual bunches of fruits and vegetables, and the white banner below it reads "Scientia Est Maxima Iniquitas" - "Knowledge is the Unfairest Advantage."

What’s all this, then?

Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up fast, and we’re a podcast about food, hosted by two trivia nerds who love feeding others.

So we’re going to get people fed, and we’re going to do it by answering several dozen trivia questions about food and cooking.

How does that work?

  • Our triviathon (trivia + marathon—Noah loves a portmanteau, as we all know) will be streamed on Tuesday, November 24th, at 7:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time.
    • Note: We’re hijacking the Liga Nacional Puertorriqueña‘s channel, because it has more followers and Noah already knows how to stream from there.
    • When we say a triviathon, we mean it: the question bank we’re using has 66 questions on food and cooking, so we’re going to be at it for a while.
  • We’re asking people to pledge funds to their local food bank for each answer we get right; for example, you could sponsor Noah for $1 per right answer, and if he got 25 answers right, your donation would be $25.
  • After the triviathon (ideally the very next day), we’ll email everyone to let them know the final figures. We’ll do all the math for you.
  • Noah is matching the first $500 of donations; send a receipt (please exclude any and all private information) to nosubstitutionspls@gmail.com and he’ll take care of the rest.

All right, you’ve convinced me. How can I help?

Simple: fill out this form, and have fun watching our stream—again, that’s the 24th of November, 7 PM EST. Glad to have you!
