Podcast: Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Episode: Wednesday, March 19, 2025 - A classic, CLASSA, NYTimes crossword
Description: This crossword was brilliant -- primarily because of the astronomical phenomenon that formed the heart of today's theme, visually dominated the grid, and was echoed in several other clues. For instance: 28D, Astrophysicist ___ deGrasse Tyson, NEIL; 17A, Thoroughly enjoyed oneself, HADABLAST; and one of Mike's favorite movies, 46D, 2019 sci-fi film whose name means "to the stars", ADASTRA. All in all, an illuminating crossword, definitely worth 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.Show note imagery: A non-nautical schooner (second from the left)We love feedback!
