In each episode Void (better known here as Mev), Dave and their guest take a look at a cryptic they solved before the recording, and pick some of the most interesting words in it as topics to discuss and learn new things about. Three favourite clues are explained, and there’s a short quiz at the end too. Learn more, and listen to a sample episode here, and click around the site for more episodes and to subscribe, etc.
Described on the site as “a show that is almost entirely digressions from its notional subject”, part of the fun of it is that every crossword can throw up new things to chat about. Spurious science, nautical slang, Columbo, mythical islands, cucumbers and new crisp flavours have all cropped up. Tune in to find out what’s next to fall off the grid.
Thanks for this link – it looks fun.
I beleve General Knowledge made some valuable contributions to the episode released today. If I do say so myself!
Thanks, admin! Today’s new episode contains spoilers for this puzzle, so solve that first, if you prefer.
A pal and I regularly talk a lot of crossword related nonsense but these guys take it to a whole new level. Very interesting, and funny. Thanks for the link, it’s highly likely I wouldn’t otherwise have discovered this podcast.
