Comedy EN ↓ 545 episodes

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.

Episodes

Fill Me In #120: Gression. 12.10.2010

The times, they are a-stayin' like they've always been. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-11) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatical minion who will hungrily consume the glory days thr...

Fill Me In #119: Office hours are on Wednesday afternoon. 28.09.2010

Come visit Brian in Syracuse. But sign up first, so he doesn't go home early and forget about you. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-11) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatical minion w...

Fill Me In #118: An acronym of an anagram. 21.09.2010

This week, we've got contests, emails, Ryan lying about things he's said. The usual. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-11) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatical minion who will hungri...

Fill Me In #117: Pick one -- baldness or dementia. 14.09.2010

Writing this little blurb three months after airing the episode, we have no idea what this one is about. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-11) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatical mi...

Fill Me In #116: PICKLES SINGS! 07.09.2010

It's been a three-week hiatus, but we haven't been cancelled, contrary to everything CBS says about us. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-11) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatical min...

Fill Me In #115: A complete success, for the most part. 17.08.2010

With the exception of an inexplicable and unstoppable chirping, Lollapuzzoola seemed to happen, more or less. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-11) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatic...

Fill Me In #114: ROFLCOPTER -- Franklin's stealing third! 10.08.2010

It's our annual pre-Lollapuzzoola episode. Typically, this means we have no useful content (because we're frantically preparing for the 'zoola), but it also means we're weirder than usual (same parenthetical reason). In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-11) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going b...

Fill Me In #113: Would you please take the vuvuzela home and practice? 03.08.2010

Big news is afoot. We'd suggest that you listen to find out — but if you're reading this, you probably either already know or never cared. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-11) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, sto...

Fill Me In #112: Context, no context 27.07.2010

We're renaissance men. Musical instruments and poetry — what else did you expect? In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-11) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatical minion who will hungrily...

Fill Me In #111: Insalvageable. 20.07.2010

Together again, together forever. Or at least, for 40 minutes. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-11) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatical minion who will hungrily consume the glory d...

Fill Me In #110: Your extrapolation is not my failure. 13.07.2010

Well, it's better than last time. We're still 300 miles apart, but now the internet works again. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-11) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatical minion who...

Fill Me In #109: In case you ever wondered what would happen if Ryan wasn't available… 06.07.2010

Brian's in Maine. Ryan's on vacation. Not a single conversation happens between them. It's really horrible. Enjoy! In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-11) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fa...

Fill Me In #108: Featuring "Jag on a Hank" -- unplugged. 22.06.2010

Ryan sings in this episode. A few times. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-11) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatical minion who will hungrily consume the glory days through badly reco...

Fill Me In #107: The drug of the puzzle world is the "a-ha moment." 15.06.2010

We learn about puzzle hunts and Winston Breen, courtesy of an interview with Eric Berlin.

Fill Me In #106: Happy birthday, Solomon of "The Stare." 08.06.2010

Quality over content. Also, Brian's nephew turns two. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-11) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatical minion who will hungrily consume the glory days throu...

Fill Me In #105: My baton is more legitimate than yours. 01.06.2010

The arguments continue, and the irreconcilable differences in puzzle practice are… well, kind of irreconcilable. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-11) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fana...

Fill Me In #104: Now my new fork has fallen. 25.05.2010

It's that Season Three surge, where the two main characters begin to fail in their relationship. Where will this lead? In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-11) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidl...

Fill Me In #103: No tangents… Go! 18.05.2010

In an effort to make up for last week's uselessness, Brian talks really fast, and it kinda freaks Ryan out a bit. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-10) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fan...

Fill Me In #102: One step below adequacy. 11.05.2010

What the episode title lacks in specificity is exceeded only by what the episode itself lacks in content. It's fun, yes. Crossword-y? Not this time. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-10) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die...

Fill Me In #101: Does it involve running? 04.05.2010

We've got a new logo, so let the branding begin. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-10) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatical minion who will hungrily consume the glory days through ba...

Fill Me In #100: Lifetime! 20.04.2010

This show has everything. Regular segments, special guests, oddball sound effects, poetry written just for us — it's maybe the greatest episode of the greatest podcast in the history of everything. Lifetime! In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-10) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to th...

Fill Me In #99: Ease on down, ease on down the road. 13.04.2010

It's our first travelling episode as we record the show from Brian's car. We might sound a little like our heads are in a toilet, but we promise, it's just a Honda Fit. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-10) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show not...

Fill Me In #98: Pump up and air out. 06.04.2010

A tribute to sneakers we wore almost 20 years ago is somehow enough of a thing to make it into the title. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-10) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatical m...

Fill Me In #97: The most ginormous thirty-eight minutes you'll ever hear. 30.03.2010

We cheat a bit and use old material without telling you. Only about six seconds, but still. In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-10) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatical minion who will...

Fill Me In #96: Release the Kraken! 23.03.2010

Our pronunciation is kept in check, but Ryan still doesn't know the past tense of "babysit." In the original series of Fill Me In (2008-10) there were rarely (if ever) show notes -- or if there were, they were lost to the blurry mists of time. But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatical minion who wil...
