Fill Me In

Be More Smarter

Fill Me In is a crossword podcast, or at least, that"s what it pretends to be. Most of the time, it"s about other things (including, but not limited to: soup, Thor, Rosana Ñler, sandwiches, Stephen Sondheim, Viewer Mail, vuvuzelas, inappropriate glorification of the E Division, and more), but occasionally, we also talk about crosswords.

This week, Ryan and Brian talk cryptics, number puzzles, and the New York Times Spelling Bee – and you'll be lucky if any of it came out right, thanks to some shoddy internet service in California.
