This week we interview puzzle designer and enthusiast Dan Katz! This is probably our longest podcast yet. Blame Errol.
Dan Katz has written puzzlehunt puzzles for the MIT Mystery Hunt, the Gen Con Puzzle Hunt, and BAPHL. His puzzles have also appeared in Wired, MAA Focus, and Games World of Puzzles. His most notorious gift to the puzzling community is the follow-the-deranged-directions puzzle format known as the Duck Konundrum, for which he sincerely apologizes.

For the curious, see the most excellent Xbox puzzle on youtube.
And the parody song was written and performed by Dan Katz himself!
