A tiny (rambling) message about the Extraction from your host, Justin. open.spotify.com/episode/3Ce5dv…
Hi all! Just a tiny update on the next episode of the Extraction. I’ve been been preparing for another event happening in July and that’s eating up my time right now, so episode 3 is a bit late. Hoping to get back in the saddle soon!
James, a supporter of our highest Solver tier over on our Patreon got one of his perks: the official @ExtractionPod mug! We think it looks pretty good, don't you? Perfect for any of your preferred puzzle-solving beverages! For more info, check out: patreon.com/theextraction
Resurfacing this thread as a reminder: puzzle solving is messy. And even though something might sound logical and even inevitable when explained after the fact, that typically hides dozens of missteps and false starts, when experienced in the moment.

Patrons of the Extraction have just been told what the next episode’s puzzle is so that they may solve it before the episode drops! In a few days, we’ll reveal it here as well. Keep an eye out!
Episode two of @ExtractionPod will make its way to your ears this May and we'll be taking it to a slightly different place this time. Any guesses?
We’ve planned out six episodes for this first run of the Extraction but we’re always open to hear your suggestions on what puzzles we should feature in future episodes. Let us know: what puzzle should be featured in a future episode of @ExtractionPod?

In Episode 1 of @ExtractionPod we talk to Todd Etter about his writing philosophy and his puzzle for the Famine Game in 2013, Xbox. Catch it wherever you get your podcasts.
this is an outstanding puzzle to kick off this series i didn't get to play in the famine game, but a teammate brought this to mitmh one year and a bunch of us played with it in the hotel
