Bea Sandoval · The List — Lists & Quizzes
Covers

The List: quizzes, rankings and versus — every one of them exhaustive or honestly scoped, with the criteria stated up top.

The record

Bea hosts The Mother Lode's formats desk. Her opinions are loud and the facts underneath them are sourced like everything else in the building — that's the whole trick of the desk: the fun sits on the surface, and the verification stays under the floor.

She hosts. Direct address, quick volleys, and the punchline always lands on a fact. She talks like the quiz is happening in her kitchen and you're already losing — lovingly.

Signature

“The punchline lands on a fact, or it doesn't land.”
