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 you... more

I only recently discovered this podcast and am now binge-listening to old episodes. It’s amusingly informative in a QI-ish way and although the chat is kind of inspired by a crossword, no expertise or even interest in crosswords is needed to enjoy it 😁
My favourite podcast, that they simply don’t make enough of. The Void ( host ) and Skirwingle ( co-host ) are mines of information on etymology/ history. If you’re a crossword fan then give it a listen … but it’s even worth a listen if you’re not a crossword buff. There are always a few gems of knowledge you’ll want to try to impress people with.
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!
One of my favourite podcasts. The format works really well - it starts with a cryptic crossword selected from one of the national dailies, but that’s just a launchpad for some fun trivia-based chitchat inspired by three favourite clues and three talking points from the crossword. Void, Dave and The General always seem to find plenty of interesting things to discuss, and they do so in a very engaging and entertaining way. It’s entirely inconsequential but that’s probably one of the things I like ... more
What a brilliant listen! Susie Dent meets No Such Thing as a Fish in this lively, light-hearted podcast based around wordplay. Perfect for fans of weird and wacky trivia, puzzles, and free association. And the best part is you don’t need to know a thing about crosswords — it’s just as fun whether you’re a season veteran or a puzzlephobe. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
