So fun!
I just found out about this podcast and have been binging episodes. I wish they were making more!

Love the puzzles!
I liked the puzzles. That’s what drew me to Futility Closet in the first place. Then I became interested in the stories in the podcast. Overall a great decision! I’m just sad there aren’t new episodes.

Simply the best
There are other weird history podcasts out there, but I haven’t found anything better than this. The succinct storytelling and crisp production are top notch.
