Customer Reviews
the podcast
this is refreshing, fun and creative! so enjoyable to hear these two talk about the clues, life, and meaning!!! looking forward to future 'episodes'!
Refreshing
I am looking forward to this podcast each week. It's refreshing to hear positive, insightful comments instead of NYT crossword bashing, which seems fashionable of late.
