289: The Odyssey Would Like a Word
289: The Odyssey Would Like a Word Aug 19, 2026 4225 Once again, we bring together some lovely, generous Kickstarter backers who helped make Uncanny Magazine Year 12 happen! Will the cards be kind to a first-timer? Will there be lots of sports and too much math? As always, it’s up to the luck of the dice! Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Dan Moren, David Matthewman, Fred Paffhausen and Seb Pollard.
288: There Are Four Cats
288: There Are Four Cats Aug 5, 2026 5379 In the return of the choose-your-edition edition of Random Pursuit, we bring back the same players with their same chosen editions, but this time we make sure they get more questions from their chosen edition. This is helpful…to some players… Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Dan Moren, Jason Snell, Kirsten Goruk, Monty Ashley and Shelly Brisbin.
287: A Portion of a Duck
287: A Portion of a Duck Jul 22, 2026 5316 Your favorite (and perhaps only) podcast game show about making connections to various words returns, with a battle between the Pacific Northwest and Big Oil Country(ies)! Nobody stare directly at Glenn’s mind. What are names, but words that are attached to people? These words mean something, somehow, but it will take a lot of time and effort to figure it out. Puzzle written by Lex Friedman. Tha
286: Technically Canadian
286: Technically Canadian Jul 8, 2026 5623 It’s the 50th edition of Random Pursuit! Erika was too lazy to do anything that took extra work, so this is basically a regular episode. But we do have a new player — who even tried to study! Plus, it’s mostly Canadians — and all players who live in Commonwealth nations, so maybe we can call this a slightly belated Canada Day episode? Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Annette Wierstra,
285: There Used To Be Guano Here
285: There Used To Be Guano Here Jun 24, 2026 3495 And now, the conclusion! Having left our players (and our listeners) on a cliffhanger last time, a slightly diminished crew try to make their way through, and eventually off, the Cursed Island. Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Dan Moren, Kathy Campbell, Monty Ashley, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment.
284: South By Northwest
284: South By Northwest Jun 10, 2026 3682 Arrrr, it be another Parsely Games adventure, this time an old timey pirate adventure as our players visit ye olde Cursed Island! Avast! Hold hard! Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Dan Moren, Glenn Fleishman, Kathy Campbell, Monty Ashley, Shelly Brisbin, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment.
283: Dan Sold One Book to Every American
283: Dan Sold One Book to Every American May 27, 2026 3682 Disregarding popular demand, Inestimable is back with another installment that pits panelists against numbers and Glenn against himself. Scorekeeper Tony helps keep chaos at bay—or causes more?—by insisting on the correct number of U.S. states, what a pyramid truly is, and why Americans are left handed. It’s in this don’t-miss episode of Inestimable that we will forgive you for missing. Glenn Flei
282: Psychedelic Pizza
282: Psychedelic Pizza May 13, 2026 3512 Welcome back to Missed Connections, a game in which our contestants must make four colorful word connections while guessing tricky (some might say problematically tricky) word clues. This episode was devised by a monstrous figure who lurks in the darkness, namely our own Brian Hamilton. Can Lex and Monty defeat Tony and Dan? Only time, and words, will tell. Jason Snell and Brian Hamilton with
281: I Have No Hate Towards Other Mystical Creatures
281: I Have No Hate Towards Other Mystical Creatures Apr 29, 2026 3524 It’s another instalment of You Think You Know Me! how well do you think each of the contestants know about each other? How well do you think they know themselves? Get your own copy of Amy’s game at Pink Tiger Games. Tony Sindelar and Kathy Campbell with Annette Wierstra, Glenn Fleishman, Lex Friedman and Sandra Wong.
280: How Long Do We Have To Do This?
280: How Long Do We Have To Do This? Apr 15, 2026 1594 A new game! Each round, players are presented with an assortment of letters. They must retcon the best initialism for the round’s category and hope that everyone else votes for theirs. And since each round is drawn at random, host Lex gets to play, too! Will someone beat Lex at what is literally his own game? Lex Friedman with Kathy Campbell, Brian Warren, Tony Sindelar, Dan Moren and Brian H
279: Number One Moon
279: Number One Moon Apr 1, 2026 3831 It’s time to Mind Meld again, where five contestants across six rounds have second thoughts about being wrong in order to be at one with each other for points. Except for the seventh round, where they have to be right. Tony Sindelar and Kathy Campbell with Annette Wierstra, Dan Moren, Glenn Fleishman, Shelly Brisbin and Lex Friedman.
278: Let's Lean into the Weirdness
278: Let's Lean into the Weirdness Mar 18, 2026 3494 Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. This time around, our panelists must divine means of telling the future, identify portrayers of the world’s greatest detective not named Batman, and untangle mashed-up superhero song titles. Kathy Campbell, Chip Sudderth, and Shelly Brisbin take on Monty Ashley, Annette Wierstra,
