Pod Crashing Episode 285 With A.J. Jacobs From The Podcast The Puzzler A new kind of daily puzzle is on its way. iHeartMedia and author A.J. Jacobs have announced a joint daily puzzle podcast, The Puzzler, releasing this fall. It received an initial order of 260 episodes. The shortform, daily podcasts will challenge listeners and celebrity guests with original, audio-friendly puzzles that are complete with weird history, fun trivia and lots of laughs. The celebrity guests will be featured alongside fellow puzzle fans who will test their skills in real time with Jacobs, before challenging listeners to solve the puzzles themselves.
