Connections: Will Shortz; Papal Visit

Puzzle master and NY Times crossword editor Will Shortz joins us. He's coming to the Smith Opera House in Geneva on Thursday night, but first, he'll talk puzzles with us. From the creation of the Times crossword, to his own fascination with puzzles and games, we'll cover a lot of territory.

Then, we highlight the visit to the U.S. by Pope Francis. Greg Kamp is on his way to the Papal visit, and we also replay an interview with Deacon Mike Zuber who will be at the outdoor mass in Philadelphia on Sunday.

Evan Dawson is the host of "Connections with Evan Dawson." He joined WXXI in January 2014 after working at 13WHAM-TV, where he served as morning news anchor. He was hired as a reporter for 13WHAM-TV in 2003 before being promoted to anchor in 2007.
