Reviews
- Have pulled over several times
Like so many other reviewers, this is a daily commute listen for me. I want to get the puzzles so much that sometimes I pull over for everyone's safety so I can turn my full attention to the podcast. I binged the first season and I like the second season even more, for the more in-depth conversations with guests and the Friday Farrago. It is truly the shiny red sole of my puzzling Jimmy Choos!

United States16 days ago - Season 1 was great. Season 2, not so much
The Puzzler was a daily listen all through the first season. But this year the episodes are padded with random chat with the guests. They are about twice as long as they used to be and are now often so long that they get interrupted with a mid-podcast several-minute-long ad break. There are many places to listen to random chat with random people and not many places to do puzzles, andI wish this would go back to what it was like the first season. (Also…no, I can’t just skip to the next podcas... more

Great audio puzzle that keeps my mind sharp - I don’t always get the extra credit puzzle but I definitely feel smarter when I do. I appreciate the banter and the new puzzle content throughout the week.
Apple Podcasts5Akpeach7United Statesa month ago - Best way to start the day
I listen to this podcast first thing on my way to work. It’s a great, positive way to start your mind working. A.J. and Greg are delightful.

Canada2 months ago - Too repetitive.
They’re doing better about it, but when these first episodes were releasing they were SO short that the run time was 80% ads. I appreciate their continuing to interview their guests and talk a little more in later episodes.
Also…why are they re-releasing shows as best-of when the show is barely a year old??? It’s clogging up my podcast feed! I don’t want to hear these again! If someone wanted to hear them they could just scroll through the back catalogue.
