About the show

Riddles, puzzles, whodunnits — and three of Chicago’s most overrated improvisers, on the case.

Hey Riddle Riddle is hosted by Adal Rifai, Erin Keif, and John Patrick Coan. Every week we sit down to unpack riddles, brain-teasers, head-scratchers, and the occasional puzzler we definitely could not solve on our own. Some riddles are almost impossible. Some are absolutely improbable. Some simply have not aged well.

If you don’t like riddles, don’t worry — this podcast is barely about them. It’s mostly improvised scenes, recurring bits, and an extended family of guest characters who probably should not be allowed near a microphone.

The Clue Crew membership keeps the show going. Members get weekly full-length bonus episodes, recordings from live shows, road-trip games, trivia, improvised scenes, and access to the full back catalog of bonus content. Your support pays for audio engineering, new music, merch artwork, travel, and the three of us — which is a real and meaningful thing.
