Puzzle Talk - User Supplied Puzzles

We’re diving into user-supplied geocaching puzzles: the clever, quirky, devious, delightful creations sent in by the geocaching community. From “I solved it in five minutes” confidence traps to puzzles that make you question every life choice since breakfast, this episode celebrates the creativity of puzzle cache owners and the brave solvers who try to crack their codes.
We’ll look at what makes a user-submitted puzzle memorable, how different puzzle styles challenge different types of thinkers, and why community-created puzzles often bring some of the best surprises to geocaching.

Geocache Talk - The 2026 EarthCache Purge with ALL THINGS EARTHCACHE

EarthCaches have always been more than just another icon on the map. They take us to cliffs, caves, shorelines, road cuts, fossils, faults, and formations, places where geocaching becomes a hands-on lesson in how the Earth works.
But in 2026, the geocaching community is watching a new wave of EarthCache archivals, updates, and tough conversations unfold.
What’s being called the “EarthCache purge” has many cachers asking the same questions: Why are these caches disappearing? What makes an EarthCache worth saving? And what can cache owners do before it is too late?
This week on Geocache Talk, we’re joined by All Things EarthCache to dig into what’s happening, what it means for the future of EarthCaching, and how geocachers can help preserve high-quality educational experiences in the game.

Geocache Talk - Would You Rather?

What happens when a simple game of “Would You Rather?” turns into a full-blown test of nerves, geocaching wisdom, and questionable decision-making?
This week on Geocache Talk, Gary and John sit down for what they think will be a fun, lighthearted episode… until Jesse starts asking the questions. From tricky caching scenarios to uncomfortable choices that no geocacher should ever have to make, Jesse brings the heat with a lineup of “Would You Rather?” questions designed to make Gary and John squirm.
Expect laughs, debates, second-guessing, and maybe a little fear as the guys try to decide which option is worse.
Play along with us and let us know your answers in the comments: Would you rather… answer Jesse’s questions, or be the one who has to come up with them?
