Today's crossword, a collaboration between Wendy L. Brandes and Barbara Lin, had an awesome theme that both cohosts temporarily missed in distinct and rather amusing ways that we will not describe here, so as to mildly increase suspense as you wait for the episode to download. While that is happening we would also like to draw your attention to 58D, Where the coffee and Wi-Fi might both be strong, CAFE 😀; 13D, Actor John who has granted more than 650 wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, CENA 😇; and, file this under "sad but true", 34D, About a third of an N.F.L. broadcast, ADS 📺.Show note imagery: ANTON Chekov, desperately trying to find something that rhymes with "Orchard" 😀 Show note URL: For those of you wondering who ANTON Chekov was, checkout Checkov for beginners: recommended storiesWe love feedback!
