Brain Drop Puzzles

A show all about puzzles, games, brainteasers, mysteries, riddles, and lateral thinking. It’s an exploration of the quandaries of our lives, a journey through the mysteries of the world, driven by curiosity and wonder. Either that, or it's a bunch of audio files with some puzzles thrown in. Depends on how cynical you are.
