Harder today! I'm stuck on loads!
9a Troubled by spiders, me? Overpowered (9) Is it inundated? If so, why?

10d Place of crime, a little bit run down (8) Renounce is what fits, but again, why?

I've got Prion for 24d and Sentence for 29a but, again, don't really understand the reasoning.

22a North and South? (8) Is that Partners? It could be Americas but it doesn't fit.

Lastly 21d Peg is a greedy person being embraced by a drunkard (6) Haven't a clue!

Help folks!

It helps if you give the clues and what letters you already have.

24dn prison less "S" (for Sweden)

[ulysses100]

29ac bird is slang for a prison sentence

[ulysses100]

10dn den ounce
den is a place of crime ; ounce is a little bit

.........and partners looks OK

Hi barbrajay .. sorry I missed your post, I've been off-line since just after 5pm for dinner etc!

I completed this puzzle earlier, but also needed help with 29a, as I didn't understand the connection between bird and sentence either! ☺
