Jason discussed the introduction of 50-year mortgages in the United States and their potential impact on real estate affordability and demand, while highlighting favorable market conditions including sliding interest rates and the end of quantitative tightening. He explained how extended mortgage terms can be financially beneficial through inflation-induced debt destruction and tax deductions, contrasting common misconceptions about mortgages as liabilities. Jason emphasized the importance of understanding current market trends and encouraged listeners to explore his AI chatbot and past content for insights, while also promoting his upcoming monthly masterclasses and the Empowered Investor Pro community. Jason then welcomes Jeff Deist, in-house counsel for Monetary Metals, to discuss the impact of dollar debasement and inflation on the economy. They explore how the U.S. has been in a slow-motion economic decline since 1971 and examine the evolving nature of money, including the role of gold and digital assets in the modern financial system. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the use of physical gold to generate income through leasing arrangements and the benefits and risks of gold investments, including its cultural significance and untapped potential as a financial asset.

"Bringing the escape room to the classroom." I might be just a teeny bit obsessed with disguising learning as play, and being tricked into learning. There is a joy to figuring things out for yourself, and iterating on past knowledge to further your skills. Besides the fun of solving puzzles, there is also a real sense of collaboration and the payoff from combining observation skills with critical thinking. Enter educator Adam Bellow. He saw the potential in escape rooms to hone the soft skills of team-building, communication, and problem solving. So he created his company, Breakout EDU, to bring escape rooms to the classroom. This comes in the form of a kit that includes multiple locks, cipher wheels, and black lights, and other props. Then on the Breakout EDU platform, teachers can choose from thousands of games, resetting the Breakout EDU kit to fit the game format. Adam joins us on Reality Escape Pod to talk about creating escape rooms for kids, especially in an academic setting. The Breakout EDU games all adhere to an academic curriculum, and also incorporate their "4 Cs" - communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity. I really enjoyed learning about the "4 C" cards that students use to explore different concepts after the game. These cards ask follow-up questions like "How would this game work if you didn't play verbally?" Even as an adult, playing escape rooms has helped me learn to be a better team player. I'm glad that school kids today have this opportunity too. To learn more, visit the Breakout EDU website or check out the resources below.   Full Shownotes   Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and COGS.

Jason  champions a view of real estate as a "packaged commodities" investment, emphasizing the financial advantage of the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. They also stress the importance of adjusting financial figures for inflation, noting that reports of skyrocketing luxury home sales are misleading when not accounting for the dollar's diminished purchasing power. Furthermore, the discussion touches on the unusual trend of luxury home price growth outpacing non-luxury homes due to wealth concentration and the Cantillon effect. Finally, the speaker promotes the strategy of inflation-induced debt destruction and discusses the long-term upward pressure on rents, before briefly introducing the topic of long-term care insurance. The Jason welcomes Aaron Miller, a lawy specializing in long-term care insurance. They focus on long-term care planning and funding options, with Aaron Miller sharing his personal and professional experience as an attorney specializing in elder law. They cover various methods for paying for long-term care, including private pay, insurance, and government assistance programs like Medicaid, with emphasis on the importance of proper planning to avoid financial strain on families. Aaron concluded with insights on elder law abuse, particularly financial abuse by caregivers, and the benefits of long-term care insurance for protecting one's legacy and assets through proper estate planning. #PackagedCommodities #RealEstateInvesting #InflationInducedDebtDestruction #WealthConcentration #LuxuryHousingMarket #HomeSales #AdjustForInflation #CPILie #HousingAffordability #IncomeProperty #PassThroughAsset #RentIncreases #LinearMarkets #CyclicalMarkets #MortgageRates #GovernmentIntervention #LongevityBreakthroughs #LongTermCareInsurance #DieWithZero #FinancialAI  Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:24 Be a packaged commodities investor 2:54 Hamptons housing, inflation and other news 9:55 International tourist trips 11:13 US home prices are up 13:53 House prices outpaced income growth 16:45 FED cuts US rates 17:30 BOA: Copper prices could rise 18:35 Teeing up long-term care insurance 20:10 Need help?

"Quietly ambitious and a bit unhinged." Somewhere in the Midwest, a talented young couple is quietly building an escape room empire. Their company, 60 to Escape, has over 12 different escape rooms across 3 locations, a puzzle-filled mini-golf experience, and a haunt so extensive and scenic that it was used as the set for a horror movie called Haunt Season on Amazon Prime. Stephen Kristof literally has entertainment in his blood. His parents owned a family entertainment center, and he grew up bouncing around mini-golf, go carts, and fixing the arcade machines. Growing up, Stephen always wanted to work at a haunt, but he was too young. So at the ripe young age of thirteen, he presented his parents with business plan for opening up his own haunt, and his first venture was born. In the course of running the haunt, they brought in a talented young SFX makeup artist named Stevie Calabrese (now Stevie Kristof). During haunt season, she manages four other artists as they get eighty performers into costumes and makeup in under two hours. Stephen and Stevie met, fell in love, and became "The Steves." They now run their immersive entertainment ventures together, crafting and creating much of it themselves, along with their team of talented folks. If either of them look familiar, you may have seen them on a reality show. Stephen was a contestant on Season 1 of Holey Moley, a zany mini-golf reality competition show, and Stevie was a contestant on Season 9 of Face Off, a special effects makeup reality competition show. I really enjoyed hearing them talk about their commitment to the customer experience, and their dedication to production value and creativity. Their company 60 to Escape was part of the Escape Immerse Explore tour in the Chicago area in 2025.

Jason focuses on the housing market and broader economic trends. He shares parts of a video by a financial YouTuber named Brian Kim, who presents data on home prices and mortgage interest rates, arguing that the market is resilient despite localized drops and that prices will likely continue to rise due to Federal Reserve rate cuts and quantitative easing. Jason, who agrees with Brian's prediction of improving conditions for real estate investors and a decline in mortgage rates, adds context regarding serious delinquency rates and layoffs in the labor market, suggesting that corporate efficiency and the desire for more material goods have historically counteracted automation's potential to cause mass unemployment. They both conclude that the current environment is favorable for buying a home, especially for investors, and dismiss the likelihood of an imminent housing market crash. #HousingMarketUpdate #MortgageInterestRates #FederalReserve #QuantitativeEasing #MonetaryTighteningCycle #HomePrices #HousingAffordability #HousingShortage #InstitutionalInvestors #BlackRock #CommercialRealEstate #ResidentialMarket #ForeclosureActivity #SeriousDelinquencyRates #Inflation #LaborMarket #Layoffs #Productivity #Automation #ArtificialIntelligence #EmpoweredInvestors #RefinanceOpportunity Key Takeaways: 0:00 Brian Kim UPDATE on the housing market 24:58 SFH delinquency rates 27:43 FED to cut interest rates 30:59 How tech was and now is changing lives 39:02 Join EmpoweredInvestorPro.com and Jason's Masterclass every second Wednesday of every month JasonHartman.com/Wednesday Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

"  Think of it as a wild Midwestern version of the MIT mystery hunt  for a slightly different crowd where people drink quite a bit more." For three whole days, over 10,000 trivia challengers descend on the tiny town of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, for The World's Largest Trivia Contest. The contest runs on the local college radio station at the University of Wisconsin- Stevens Point for 54 hours straight, asking eight questions per hour. Teams have only the length of two radio songs to call in their answer. Yup, that's right. You call into the radio, old school style. It's a madcap frenzy of teams frantically searching through bins of catalogued items spanning from cereal boxes to DVD covers, or racking their brains to remember an obscure cartoon reference. For 43 years Jim “Oz” Oliva was ringmaster of this trivia circus. He wrote most of the questions and organized the contest. Jim revels in finding the most obscure bits of trivia to throw at his players. In response, teams have amassed entire rooms filled with snack packaging, atlases, and the booklets from CDs, among other items. With the advent of the internet, Jim had to change how he formatted the questions to stay ahead of searchable keywords. You can hear the glee in Jim's voice when he talks about all the techniques he devised to outmaneuver trivia players. He even had to hold onto all of the garbage from the question writing room otherwise players have been known to go through the trash, attempting to gain an edge over the competition. Jim is blunt, funny, and mischievous. I really enjoyed hearing all his stories from his many years of running this crazy trivia contest and learning about the wild culture surrounding it. In our Bonus Aftershow, REA contributers Heather Burns and Theresa Piazza join us to share their perspective on the trivia contest. Heather has been involved in the trivia contest for over 20 years, and Theresa joined Heather for the first time last year. It was wild to hear all about how they prepare for three crazy days of trivia with a revolving door of team members marshalling to rifle through bins of material and sleeping in shifts. I hope you enjoy this episode about The World's Largest Trivia Contest.     Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and COGS.

Hear the latest on Israel, the hostages, and how it all connects to end-time Bible prophecy with Erick Stakelbeck and Bishop Alan DiDio.

Ever wonder why some foods feel impossible to stop eating? We pull back the curtain on how ultra-processed products are engineered to hook your taste buds, spike your blood sugar, and keep you coming back—while quietly nudging up your risk for type 2 diabetes, mood swings, and gut disruption. With nutritionist Julie Ruelle from Go Coco, we translate the science into everyday choices that protect your hormones, energy, and sanity.We start by separating helpful processing—like freezing vegetables or turning milk into yogurt—from ultra-processed foods packed with dyes, stabilizers, artificial sweeteners, and ingredients your grandparents wouldn't recognize. Julie breaks down the label tricks behind words like “healthy” and “vegan,” and shows how to scan ingredient lists before nutrition panels. From there, we explore the gut-brain axis: why additives and quick carbs can inflame your microbiome, trigger cravings, and derail your mood and focus. You'll learn how probiotic foods (yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut) and prebiotic fibers (whole grains, beans, veggies, fruit) rebuild your gut—and how noticeable improvements often start within two weeks. We share practical ideas: replace the 60-gram sugar coffee drink with a home version using cinnamon and vanilla, upgrade cereal by choosing short-ingredient options and adding nuts and berries, and swap fruit bars for whole fruit plus seeds. We also talk organic priorities for meats and dairy, and why calorie counting can mislead you when nutrient density is the bigger lever.If you're ready to step off the sugar-crash roller coaster and build meals that steady your energy and mood, this conversation gives you the roadmap—clear, doable, and built for real life.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 475, published last February 11, 2015. In today's Creating Wealth show, Jason first talks about statistics and how so many people use it to manipulate others. He also talks about how there are still a few Meet the Masters home study courses left, so do not forget to order them now while supplies last!  Sara Silverstein joins Jason today on the Creating Wealth show to talk about  funny tongue and cheek correlations.

A prophetic briefing on the Reaping Generation. Alan DiDio connects Sola Scriptura and the Reformation to today's spiritual crisis and asks whether an entire generation is slipping away. Join live for Scripture, prophecy and urgent clarity.

He was a radical Buddhist, high on a death bowl, when a spirit posing as a grandfather offered him 50,000 years off hell, if he took his own life. He obeyed. Eight hours later, after stabbing himself 34+ times, Steve Kang woke up in hell… until Jesus showed up.

In this deeply vulnerable episode, Dara explores why we resist the very tools that could transform our lives, using a client's confession about avoiding thought downloads as the starting point for understanding our patterns of self-sabotage. Key Topics Covered:

Jason and Michael Zuber of https://onerentalatatime.com/ discuss the current real estate market, emphasizing that fears of a housing crisis are unfounded and highlighting the benefits of low mortgage rates and increased inventory for buyers. They analyze historical trends in housing prices, mortgage rates, and transaction volumes to provide context for current market conditions and future predictions. They also cover strategies for maximizing yield in real estate investments and the potential impact of falling interest rates on the housing market. https://www.monetary-metals.com/Hartman Buying via the AFFILIATE LINK saves you money and supports me. #MichaelZuber #OneRentalAtATime #CreatingWealth #HolisticSurvival #DebunkDoomers #RealEstateInvesting #OpportunityCost #NoGFC #HousingMarket #FixedRateMortgage #BuyerMarket #RealEstateDeals #Inflation #DebtDestruction #Yield #HousingTransactions #MortgageRates #PropertyManagement #AddValue #VanillaIceRealEstate   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com  

Today, Jason offers investment guidance, beginning with a discussion on the United States housing market, noting the significant pent-up demand from would-be buyers due to high interest rates and low sales volume. He then promotes income property as the most historically proven asset class, emphasizing the benefit of inflation-induced debt destruction, which reduces the real value of fixed payments over time. Additionally, Jason  cautions against speculative investments and advises maintaining a diversified portfolio while strongly advocating for being a direct investor to avoid the risks associated with syndicators and fund managers, citing the recent Marco Santarelli fraud case as a key example of why investors should "maintain control." Finally, he briefly touches on the rarity of favorable US mortgage options for foreign nationals and offers contact information for building a real estate portfolio. Then Micheal Zuber and Jason focus on the critical distinction between a "bear" and a "doomer" or "crash bro" in financial markets. They argue that being a bear is a logical position based on market cycles, whereas being a doomer is akin to a "religion" motivated by profit, clicks, and the "stealing of hope." A key difference highlighted is that a bear will adjust their opinion when presented with new information, but a doomer never owns their mistakes and simply continues promoting fear, leading to significant opportunity cost for those who follow their advice and remain inactive. They conclude with a call for accountability, urging audiences to challenge doomers on their consistently wrong predictions. https://OneRentalAtATime.com/ #PureEvilExposed #TrillionsLost #InactionCost #OpportunityCost #FearForProfit #ReligionForMoney #FinancialScam #NeverAdmitMistakes #ConstantlyWrong #20PercentCrashLie #ChickenLittle #SkyIsFalling #MindPoisoned #AlgorithmReward #RentTrap #MissedTheWave #HoldThemAccountable Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:48 Check out the Longevity and Biohacking Podcast 2:46 Chart: Existing homes Sales  4:50 Pent Up demand 7:57 Annual nominal vs. inflation adjusted (Real) payments over time 10:23 Monthly inflation adjusted (Real) payments over time  11:17 I love Canada... but not Bitcoin 15:30 The Rational Optimist 16:35 Scammer Marco Santorelli indicted 23:04 We are here to help you build your portfolio Michael Zuber interviews Jason 24:04 Doomers vs. bears   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

"With a performer, players can make their own stories." Will and Kim Rutherford met at a summer pool party while in college. Kim recruited Will to help her win a floaty race across the pool. Alas, they lost. " I thought the floaty race was for fun and apparently it was for, I don't know, life bragging rights or something," says Will. Since then, the couple have gone on to many other creative adventures, including creating home haunts. Will even proposed to Kim on Halloween while they were both still in their costumes. So when Will and Kim played their first escape room, they immediately thought it could be like a permanent home haunt experience that they didn't have to tear down and put up every year. They jumped in with both feet, and although they made a lot of mistakes along the way, Escape Artist Greenville was born. Today they have the second highest ranked escape room in the USA (Castle Fluffendor). They've also created a three-hour experience that combines three of their top escape rooms into one narratively cohesive saga called The Chimera Corp Saga. REA reviewer Matthew Stein calls it “a masterpiece of episodic storytelling.” Will and Kim join us on REPOD to talk about the thought process behind their compelling games. I especially appreciated hearing about how they're escape room enthusiasts themselves, and regularly travel the world playing games and seeking inspiration. They tell us, “we are trying to go to the most diverse, immersive experiences that we can and seek out things that actually are a little outside of our comfort zone.” The Rutherfords have also recently joined the team at Keepers of Balance and helped them launch their first project, the epic Temple of Light, which recently won a Golden Lock award. Will and Kim have a boundless enthusiasm for the escape room industry, and I hope you find this conversation as inspiring as I did.     Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and COGS.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 270 published last July 24, 2012. Relationship expert and best-selling author, Dr. John Gray, joins Jason Hartman to talk about research studies and Dr. Gray's new work, “Boys to Men.”  Dr. Gray talks about how his observations have been backed up by and further explained by brain studies, showing obvious differences between men and women in brain function and hormones that affect health and behavior. He offers a deeper explanation of these differences based on scientific research showing how activities particular to each gender, diet, and an increased existence of xenoestrogens in our environment play a significant role in hormonal balance and imbalance. Dr. Gray discusses the proper use of supplements and the dangers of pharmaceuticals. This leads into his new work regarding healthy male development and his upcoming new book, Boys to Men, a look at how boys have been affected by today's culture, showing a higher dropout rate than girls, lower comprehension, and higher instances of boredom and depression.  The high carbohydrate diet we consume plays a big role in this trend, and he cites inflammation in the brain as one factor in decreased comprehension. He describes activities, diet and supplements that can alleviate inflammation and stress and bring about optimal health in both men and women. John Gray, Ph.D. is the best-selling relationship author of all time and the most trusted voice in relationships today. He is the author of 17 books, including The New York Times #1 Best-Selling Book of the last decade, MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS. His 17 books have sold over 50 million copies in 50 different languages around the world. John is a leading internationally recognized expert in the fields of communication and relationships. His unique focus is assisting men and women in understanding, respecting and appreciating their differences.     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

In this week's solo episode of The Energy Code, Dr. Mike Belkowski introduces a brand-new addition to what he calls the Mitochondrial Matrix: minerals. Often overlooked in the world of biohacking, minerals are the true foundation of energy production, cellular repair, and mitochondrial performance.   Dr. Mike dives deep into the biophysics of mineralization — why trace minerals like magnesium, copper, iron, and selenium are indispensable for redox balance, ATP synthesis, and overall cellular vitality. You'll learn how mineral depletion from modern farming and processed foods is silently driving fatigue, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction — and how to rebuild that foundation with the right forms of mineral support.   This episode also unpacks the three pillars of mineralization — Folic Acid, Humic Acid, and Marine Minerals—revealing how each uniquely restores redox balance, enhances detoxification, and recharges your mitochondria. Plus, Dr. Mike announces BioLight's newest supplement, BioMinerals, combining all three of these powerhouse ingredients in one synergistic formula.   Expect an eye-opening blend of ancient wisdom, modern biophysics, and practical strategies for anyone looking to upgrade their biology from the inside out.

Jason discusses various economic and cultural trends impacting real estate investment. The core argument revolves around the decline in household size due to factors like lower marriage and fertility rates, the rise of feminism, and government policies like welfare programs, which consequently increases demand for housing units. Jason connects these societal changes to the desire of consumer product companies and taxing authorities to encourage single-person households and divorce to boost sales and tax revenue, respectively. Finally, he strongly advocates for direct investment in real estate over investing in syndications or funds, warning of potential fraud, incompetence, and excessive fees associated with those investment vehicles, citing a recent criminal indictment as an example, and arguing that when correctly calculated, real estate offers superior leveraged returns compared to the stock market or gold.

"The Shakespeare of our time." Stephen Sondheim practically reinvented musicals with his flair for theatrical storytelling through his lyrics and music. A lesser known fact is that Sondheim also played a huge role in the puzzling world. Before he was famous for musicals like West Side Story, Sweeney Todd, and Sundays in the Park with George, Sondheim was the first puzzle editor for New York Magazine in the 1960s. Sondheim's obsession with puzzles and games lasted his whole life. He discovered escape rooms while in his 80s, and played many of them! Sondheim famously said "art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos," and the same could very much be said for puzzles. Barry Joseph joins us on REPOD to talk about his new book, Matching Minds with Sondheim, which dives into Sondheim's love of puzzles and games. The types of puzzles spanned everything from crosswords, to treasure hunts, jigsaw puzzles, and parlour games. Little known fact—Stephen Sondheim is credited with bringing British style cryptic crosswords to the USA! He also commissioned custom jigsaw puzzles as opening night gifts for the cast and crew of his Broadway shows. As prolific as Sondheim was with his musicals, he was equally invested in his puzzles and games. Guest Barry Joseph digs deep into all the different ways Sondheim incorporated puzzles into his creative work and daily life. If you found this topic interesting, be sure to get his book, Matching Minds with Sondheim and check out his podcast of the same name. I'd recommend starting with the two podcast episodes that featured our very own David and Lisa Spira: Escape Room Episode (ft. Lisa & David), Jigsaw Puzzles Episode (ft. David).   Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and COGS.

Today's episode is an excerpt from Jason's Wednesday masterclass podcast focusing on co-living as a real estate investment strategy, featuring an expert named Eric Halverson, focusing particularly on the Phoenix market. Jason explains his previous skepticism and newfound confidence in co-living due to the increasing housing shortage and shrinking average household size in the U.S. They highlight the high returns and affordability solutions that co-living offers, particularly for the "working poor," contrasting the current market with the Great Recession. Eric shares his experience in the Atlanta market, discussing the operational mechanics of converting single-family homes into multi-room rentals with weekly payments, emphasizing the strong demand and the limited supply of suitable properties. They strongly advocate for direct investment in leveraged real estate, illustrating how the asset class outperforms others like the S&P 500 and gold when factoring in leverage and tax benefits.

"Will Shortz has probably done more to elevate public consciousness of puzzles than any other individual in history." For decades, the name Will Shortz has been synonymous with puzzles. Will Shortz is the crossword editor of The New York Times, the puzzle master on NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday, and the only person in the world with a college degree in “enigmatology,” the study of puzzles. inspired my most famous quote from the show—"Well Jeff, I'm good at Sudoku!" (You should check out the accompanying Bonus Aftershow on Patreon for the full story.) He has inspired David and me in our creative endeavors, like our new podcast PG's Playhouse, and he has inspired many of our past guests too. We talk about how crosswords have evolved to reflect pop culture, the impact of mini puzzles, and why wordplay connects people in ways you might not expect. Will Shortz was an absolute delight to interview, and as you can imagine, he was chock full of stories. I especially enjoyed hearing about how he landed a job at Games Magazine. Will also shares his philosophy on creating puzzles:  What I think I'm very good at is creating clues that are going to entertain people. I always think of the audience. I always think of who's going to be solving. I like to push people to their limit. I want people to break through in the end and to be able to solve the puzzle because that's where they get the satisfaction. That's my goal.  His closing thoughts to us were "I want to make the world a little better for being here." Will Shortz has certainly done so for all of us who love puzzles.     Episode Sponsors We are immensely grateful to our sponsors this season: REA Patreon Backers, PG's Playhouse, Buzzshot, and COGS.
