Description

Stories about games and puzzles and upside-down worlds where the rules don’t quite make sense.

(5:11) Storyteller Donna Washington shares a tale about a new husband who makes a silly bet with his bride in "Bastianello!" It was recorded live in the Apple Seed Studio.
(25:07) Host Sam Payne shares a memory of relaxing the rules during a game of chess against his father-in-law, as the latter succumbed to Alzheimer's. It's today's entry in The Radio Family Journal.
(32:50) Hear a reader's theater presentation of a scene from Lewis Carroll's 'Through the Looking Glass,' in which Alice is given a nonsensical quiz by The Red Queen and The White Queen.
(44:40) The Apple Seed team gathers in the studio to solve "Einstein's Riddle," a famous logic puzzle thought to have been created by the great physicist himself.
