Ah, what a pleasure to find a puzzle by Opsimath. We know that his puzzles are generally among the more approachable, with relatively generous clues to a large vocabulary of words and something original in the endgame.

Listener 4914: Figures of Fun by Serpent
Serpent’s second Listener – his first was 4408 Child’s Play – but his 16th in Dave Hennings’ database, dating back 11 years. The themes range widely (4408 was based on ‘Snakes and Ladders’ but the last EV was about Roman Emperors) – so what will we have this time?
Listener 4193 British Summer Time by Artix
Artix: there’s a murmur of pleasure as who will ever forget some of his masterpieces, especially his very first solo Listener crossword ‘One Shot at a Time’ when we constructed a golf course
Listener 4912 What on Earth by Vagans
This is Vagans’ fourth crossword in the Listener series. Previous ones have challenged us with eggcorns and ancient English letters as well as a list of seven churches in Asia.
Listener 4911: Ish by Twin
It’s the Listener dinner weekend puzzle and traditionally it’s an easy ride – but here’s the maestro Twin who can make amazingly complex constructions. So will it be sink or swim for us?
Listener 4910 Knock, Knock by Karla
Dave Hennings’ Crossword Database tells us that this will be Karla’s sixth Listener crossword. He challenges and entertains us too in the Magpie, EV and IQ series.
Listener 4909 Fragments by Cranberry
Dave Hennings’ crossword data-base tells me that we have already met Cranberry ten times in EV and Inquisitor crosswords but it seems that this is his (her or their) first Listener crossword.

Great – another offering from Chalicea! Never too hard, but always well-made and enjoyable.
Listener No. 4904: In Memoriam by Phidias
Ahhh — another circular puzzle. And a new setter (unless the architect of the Acropolis has invented a time machine). But In Memoriam of what?
Listener Crossword No 4903: Fisher Transformation by Mr Snaky: A Setter’s Blog
It’s about 3 years since I came up with the idea for Fisher Transformation so my recollection of its creation is a little bit sketchy. But here we go.
Listener Crossword No 4903: Fisher Transformation by Mr Snaky
Mr Snaky is back. His first Listener (4763) was about Pascal’s Theorem and it looks as we have more geometry this time too.
