Christina Iverson is an editor with the New York Times Games department, and of course we couldn't wait to collaborate on all things games and puzzles. The Dog-Eared staff is a big consumer of the NYT Games, and we're not ashamed to admit we solve while working.
We're excited to welcome Christina, who began her crossword journey about seven years ago, on this week's episode. We hope you listen along and check out Puzzle Mania!
Ellyn's Currently Reading | Darkrooms by Rebecca Hannigan
