from Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword · host MP
A nice Wednesday crossword, although both Jean & Mike had a spot of bother in the top-right corner. Both independently came to the conclusion that 12D, "Never-ending" offerings at Olive Garden, was SALADS, as opposed to the other never-ending offerings, PASTAS. Both (also independently) assumed that 25A, Least bit, was ATAD. There was also some unpleasantness with 18A, "Full Frontal With Samantha Bee" network, but in the end both (independently) fought their way out of that verbal quagmire in the Northeast. Whew![Addendum: due to an editing error -- we have already sacked our recording engineer -- the audio for this podcast is actually a repeat of Tuesday's show. We were going to re-record, but since a) we can't remember what we said , and b) this was a darned-good recording, we are going to let it stand.]We love feedback!
