Hey Riddle Riddle
Headgum
Riddles! Puzzles! WhoDunnits! Adal Rifai, Erin Keif and John Patrick Coan, three of Chicago's most overrated improvisers, are on the case to solve every riddle, puzzle, brain-teaser, and head-scratcher known to humanity. Some riddles are almost impossible, some are absolutely improbable, and some simply have not aged well. And if you don't like riddles, don't worry! This podcast is barely about them!

"To puzz or not to puzz, that is the riddle." On today's episode, we ponder the work of the great bard Billy Shakes but guess what? We make it fun! All that and we take a tour of the greatest city in the world with some of the worst people on the planet, a rip-roaring re-telling of a spiritual touchstone, a gathering of some of the most famous scientific minds of their time, a dastardly villain with the worst possible intentions (and fashion sense), and a couple of young kids going through a hard time. This episode is a real douzy, but hey, it's #WiddleWednesday so what did you expect?

#116: Three Butlers Living in the Very Same House
This episode has everything you could possibly want in an episode of Hey Riddle Riddle: an out-of-context cold open, new nicknames for the hosts, a segment about showering and an impromptu sitcom. Truly it's one for the ages. Oh, and it's also got a budding romance between an unlikely pair, two protectors standing up for the peasantry, pedantic conversation at a somber occasion, an enterprising author giving it his all, the sting of a job well done, a new boy in town and the homelife of the monarchy.

All that and a boy learning about his past and what might be his future, an iconic pitch session for one of our favorite products, young love blossoming in a cold, cold place, two fruits from different paths, 10 screwballs who can't catch a break, the drama of a midnight sky, waxing poetic with one of history's greatest minds and creatures of the night getting into trouble.
