Today's crossword was chock-full of IDEAS tied to cosmology - from the universe's start, in the BIGBANG, to its end, with (according to TSELIOT), a WHIMPER. It also had a shoutout to the person who helped confirm the BIGBANG, PENZIAS (not, as Mike incorrectly SPELT it for reasons that are SPELT out in the podcast, PENSIAS). A few other clues of note: 53D, Shiny button material, NACRE, and a word that most people will never, ever need to use but it's just reassuring to know that it exists, 47D, Dot in "i" or "j", TITTLE. Just a reminder, that if you're trying to follow along but don't have a solved copy of the crossword at-the-ready, xwordinfo.com has you covered, with the completed grid and clues: highly recommended!We love feedback!
