This week, Ryan and Brian are thrilled to welcome author A.J. Jacobs (website, Twitter) and puzzlemaker Greg Pliska (website, Twitter), who discuss their new book "The Puzzler." Also, a hardcore quiz on Sondheim lyrics, some time traveling, and a false start to what was supposed to be a quick Thunder Round. All that plus a new contest crossword at https://www.dropbox.com/s/vqrhm56ysn1qoab/fmi346con.puz?dl=1
