Customer Reviews
A highlight in the footnotes in my day
Day one listener. LITERALLY laughing out loud today with Ted Allen and “Get Ted Fed”. Spoiler: I had the pass mass gas answer 😂
I tell any puzzler I find…”go listen to A.J Jacobs!
Also, your chief puzzle officer gets an A+. Gold stars all around ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely enjoy the podcast!
LOVE the podcast!!!! But please, NO MORE Kara Swisher!!!
A delightful daily diversion!
I absolutely adore this podcast. From playing along with the guests to puzzling over the extra credit (and feeling an unreasonable sense of pride when I figure out a tough one), The Puzzler is the cream cheese frosting on my red velvet puzzle cake.
