Friday, January 5, 2024 - EASYREAD, tricky solve!

A tough, tough Friday crossword by David P. Williams -- his third, and his third to use the exact same grid pattern! The grid was daunting, with many a long answer, and there were almost no "gimme" clues to get a foothold. Mercifully (at least from Mike's perspective) there were relatively few pop culture references, just a lot of joyous word play. Deets inside, as well as a very fine fact for Fun Fact Friday, so download, listen up, and enjoy!Show note imagery: an early bread slicing machine, possibly one made by the original inventor, Otto Frederick RohwedderWe love feedback!
