Podcast: Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Episode: Tuesday, November 28, 2023 - ORANGEDOORHINGE - they said it couldn't be done, and ... they were right!
Description: A colorful and rhyme-rife Tuesday crossword by Gia Bosko, her 4th in the NYTimes and, more amazingly, her 4th of the year. The theme was excellent, and the cluing as crisp as a Wisconsinite in winter. Some of our favorites include: 23D, "Beam me up, ________!", ("Star Trek" misquotation), SCOTTY (huh!); 50D, Corn cake, PONE (make that two slices, please); and our favorite soccer player, 49A, Soccer star Hamm, MIA (she shoots, she scoooooores!).Besides the crossword, it's Triplet Tuesday, and today Jean's up-to-________, (Bruce Wayne's alter ego's namesake). Join in for all the fun, and don't forget...
