Before each recording, the hosts & their guest solve a cryptic crossword. In the podcast, we riff on words in the grid or clues (spoilers!), telling each other things we find funny or interesting about them. We'll also pick a favourite clue each, and explain how it works to the listener, and have a mini-quiz, also inspired by the puzzle. You don't have to solve or understand cryptic crosswords yourself to enjoy this podcast, but hopefully we might intrigue and tempt you to dip your toes in the water.

Fun for curious people

If you’re a curious person who likes curious connections, this podcast is a great time. Cryptic crosswords are only the jumping-off point — it’s all about tangents and deep dives into the most entertaining places. Puzzle people are the perfect guides on this kind of trip. Highly recommended!
