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.

  • Ever notice how infuriating it is to start a song verse and not finishing it?Like, Oh, we're half way there

    Oh-o, liv... and suddenly stopping?

    Maybe you can sing backstreet is back! all... and then nothing. What is love? Baby... and silence. Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna finish this song! I bet it would be very frustrating to read this out loud!

  • All caught up!

    Introduced to the pod via Dungeons and Daddies and, while it took a few years, I’ve just completely caught up on the main feed! Super funny pod, great to listen to for the improv and puzzle lovers alike (though be careful about listening at work or anywhere you do not want to be caught laughing out loud to your headphones).

    Now I’m down to 2 eps weekly with these folks with Hey Riddle Riddle and Gumshoes and Dragons ….. might be time to sign up for the patreon
