In this episode of Post-Podium, I am joined by Bliss and Zach Gozlan to discuss the roster and format of the 2022 Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions (TOC) as well as justify why we think certain players should be ranked higher than others in our individual power rankings/tier lists. I also spend some time at the start of this episode talking to Bliss about why she decided to create a Jeopardy! all-time leaderboard, which can be found here.

We apologize for misgendering Mattea Roach at certain points of this episode. Wikipedia incorrectly addresses Mattea using she/her while the Inside Jeopardy! podcast correctly uses they/them. We regret this error.
