Riddles! Puzzles! WhoDunnits! Adal Rifai, Erin Keif and John Patrick Coan, three of Chicago's most overrated improvisers, are on the case to solve every riddle, puzzle, brain-teaser, and head-scratcher known to humanity. Some riddles are almost impossible, some are absolutely improbable, and some simply have not aged well. And if you don't like riddles, don't worry! This podcast is barely about th... more

  • Listener Beware

    In my search to hear more from a beguiling mouse with human strength, I came upon this perplexing podcast. When I hit play, an enchanting song graced my ears. As if under a spell, I could not help but dance. What I heard next forever changed the meat that doth dwell within my attic.

I found myself transported back to the year 2018 more than... more

  • Good stuff but the 10 minute ad breaks (literal 10 minutes) are absolutely greedy and unethical when you have thousands of patreon supporters. 1/3 of each episode is ads, it's absolutely bonkers. Feels like they are getting the most cash they can as the end comes
