Puzzles! WhoDunnits! Adal Rifai, Erin Keif and John Patrick Coan, three of Chicago's most overrated improvisers, are on the case to solve every riddle, puzzle, brain-teaser, and head-scratcher known to humanity. Some riddles are almost impossible, some are absolutely improbable, and some simply have not aged well. And if you don't like riddles, don't worry! This podcast is barely about them!

Voiced by Shirley Henderson, he became a fan favorite for his unique voice and personality. Originally, the tiny Anzellan was intended to perish when the Final Order destroyed the planet Kijimi. However, after J.J. Abrams screened an early cut for Steven Spielberg, Spielberg specifically asked what happened to the character, leading the crew to edit Babu into the climactic Battle of Exegol as a Y-wing pilot alongside Zori Bliss.
