Just found this podcast a couple of weeks ago & have really been enjoying it. Nothing fancy, just going through today’s NYT crossword. Love the banter between the 2 hosts & find Mike’s frequency stats very interesting. Thanks for making it not too short (or too long!) & keep up the good work
Enjoy your podcast very much. It has helped me to get better at solving. Thanks for sharing your love of the puzzle.
Thank you for an entertaining 20 minutes every day.
I love your podcast! It’s really fun how you go a lot of the clues of the crossword. I find myself looking up the words myself because a lot of them are words I didn’t know before. :) I also find myself guessing along with you guys during the game portion. I don’t know who writes those but they are always amazing. Jean
