Dear composers, please do try not to sound like a foreign agent!

Once more unto the grid, dear friends. A cryptic crossword was faced down and inspected for tit-bits, such as corpora, photos of rural American mail boxes, microbes, party encounters, reformations, infamy, packet switching and hand waving and all the usual suspects. Click Play to hear bad Brando impressions and more…

If the player doesn’t work, here’s a direct download link. (Right-click, Save file.)

The featured crossword puzzle by Kairos.
The General recommends: this Twitter account, and (usually) every other Wednesday’s Independent puzzle.
Dave on Twitter says my puzzles are here.
Void on Twitter said the cryptic-curious could check out this twitch stream.

THE TRUDY are on Bandcamp, their own homepage, Twitter, and YouTube. Captain Scarlet says don’t go looking for them on a wonky fan site, for goodness sake.

Please SUBSCRIBE to all this grid-inspired tomfoolery on iTunes/Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Acast, or any podcatching app/program using this RSS feed. Support your favourite artists wherever and whenever you can. If that happens to be a band, then buy directly from them if you can, or use Bandcamp for digital downloads, where the artist will get a decent chunk of your money, especially if it happends to be on a Bandcamp Friday. Another great option is to support your local indy record shop if you’re lucky enough to have one. One more way to support your favourite artists is to.. ahem… leave a rating and a review for their podcast on whichever platform you get it from (if possible), or give them a retweet/share, etc. I’m sure they’ll love you for it. 🙂

Oh, and Spotify if you absolutely must.
