Listener 4207 - Loco by Ferret

I found this to be a nice challenge with a very satisfying final step. I found the clues to be tough but fair (except I felt 19:33d was subpar). Well done, Ferret.

I haven't quite finished the final stage, but have the grid filled and know what I am doing for once. I did get last week's finished, with the pdm arriving soon after my last posting. There was enough thematic material to make it obvious really, so don't know why it took so long.
I'm at the point of the endgame, both messages, and maybe I know what to do next. But my idea doesn't seem all that convincing... maybe when I carry it through all will become clear.
That nagging doubt said, it's a very good puzzle. I see misprints quite often but not sure I've ever seen both the correct and the wrong letters carry a message. That in itself is fairly special, isn't it?

I found this tough - didn't get going really till this morning as only got back from travelling late on Saturday. Clues were definitely on the hard side, misprints often cleverly disguised, but one could build (most of) grid from longer entries. Hiding two messages in the misprints/corrections was first rate. Endgame became a bit of a chore but produced neat finish. Many thanks to Ferret for a real challenge. (Btw, did anybody else opt for an alternative - but undoubtedly unacceptable - correction of the misprint in the very last clue?)
