N.S. Jeopardy! champ to host podcast on politics

Nova Scotia’s Jeopardy! champ is set to host her very own podcast.

Mattea Roach held a 23-game winning streak on the game show from April 5 to May 6.

Now, she’s set to host a podcast about politics on Canadaland, called “The Backbench”.

Roach says talking about issues of national importance is a genuine thrill.

The Halifax native was the most successful Canadian to play Jeopardy!

She’ll be back for the Tournament of Champions in the fall.
