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.

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...”Read full review »
