Like so many other reviewers, this is a daily commute listen for me. I want to get the puzzles so much that sometimes I pull over for everyone's safety so I can turn my full attention to the podcast. I binged the first season and I like the second season even more, for the more in-depth conversations with guests and the Friday Farrago. It is truly the shiny red sole of my puzzling Jimmy Choos!

Great audio puzzle that keeps my mind sharp - I don’t always get the extra credit puzzle but I definitely feel smarter when I do. I appreciate the banter and the new puzzle content throughout the week.
Season 1 was great. Season 2, not so much

The Puzzler was a daily listen all through the first season. But this year the episodes are padded with random chat with the guests. They are about twice as long as they used to be and are now often so long that they get interrupted with a mid-podcast several-minute-long ad break. There are many places to listen to random chat with random people and not many places to do puzzles, andI wish this would go back to what it was like the first season. (Also…no, I can’t just skip to the next podcast when the chat section begins, because there is always a final puzzle at the end, and the answer to the previous day.) Less blather, more puzzles!
