  • Off-Grid Pod 021 The Catworm Thingu Edit

    Call your mummy, because the cats are taking over the worm. Sorry, the world. Shouldn't have left that unedited, really.


    Full show notes are at https://offgrid.tlmb.net/

    Some General Knowledge, a mini-quiz, and some fun trivia we didn't necessarily know until just now.


    Before each recording, the hosts & their guest solve a cryptic crossword. In the podcast, we riff on words in the grid or clues (spoilers!), telling each other things we find funny or interesting about them. We'll also pick a favourite clue each, and explain how it works to the listener, and have a mini-quiz, also inspired by the puzzle. You don't have to solve or understand cryptic crosswords yourself to enjoy this podcast, but hopefully we might intrigue and tempt you to dip your toes in the water.
