The Secret Lives of Jigsaw Puzzles: Why a Thousand Pieces Feel Like Coming Home

from Sunday Morning Curious · host Podcaster

We dive into the oddly compelling world of jigsaw puzzles — from their surprising origins as educational tools for teaching geography to the particular satisfaction of finding that one elusive corner piece. Join us as we explore why millions of people willingly scatter cardboard chaos across their dining tables, and what happens to our minds when we surrender to the gentle tyranny of interlocking shapes.
