Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Wednesday, July 17, 2024 - Good news, Pablo NERUDA is in the grid!
A slightly crunchier than usual Wednesday crossword, unsurprising when Alex Eaton-Salners is at the helm (and editor Joel Fagliano's on the crows nest).
We had some literary clues, such as 3D, _______ Gawande, author of the 2014 best seller "Being Mortal", ATUL; and 4D, Poet Pablo, NERUDA.
We had product placement clues, such as 17A, Nail polish brand with colors like "Berry Fairy Fun", and "Aurora Berry-alis", OPI and 57A, Rival of Chanel, DIOR.
Most impressively, however, we had the themed clues, which we dive into, at length, in today's episode.
Just a casual reminder to please leave us a 5 star review wherever you get your podcasts, that really helps get the word out.
