Listener No 4367: Identity Crisis By Sabre

An excellent challenge from Sabre, and certainly had to use all the available information to make headway on this. Full quotation and author only revealing itself right at the end.

Listener No 4366: Ego-Trips By Llig

Sorry to be a bit repetitive, but this is just not a stiff enough challenge. Lots of very easy clues, and no real endgame to speak of....

Listener No 4365: General Intelligence By Calmac

What a neat grid construction. I found finding the quotation a bit tedious, but the rest of the puzzle was a total delight, with some cleverly concealed misprints. Many thanks, Calmac....

Listener No. 4363: Demolition By Schadenfreude

As ever with Schadenfreude, a great pleasure to solve. I had to backtrack to find a few missing missing letters, though. I wonder whether this was one that was rejected by CAM as too easy (or perhaps...

Listener No. 4362: Spots, By Colleague

I'm still a bit uncertain of the misprint for the fifth letter of the name, but have no qualms about the rest. Some nice clues, and a satisfactory endgame. Many thanks, Colleague. Now back to tracing...

Listener 4360 What A Turn-Up! By Ioa

Great fun all the way through. Required only elementary number-crunching so numerophobes should not be put off. And a very neat and satisfyingly unambiguous ending, so thanks all round to IOA for a...

Listener 4358 The Other Letter By Wan

Can't find an earlier post. Quite a challenge from Wan with some tricky wordplays and misprints/extra letters. Highlighting not too difficult if you have an idea where to look. Thanks to Wan...

Listener 4356 Mashonaland By Raffles

Some excellent clueing, especially where extra letters were unambiguously indicated. The end result may never win a prize for elegance, even with the speakers revealed, but the gridfill speeds up very...

Listener No 4355: Shorthand Crosses By Aragon

A lovely construction, with fairly straightforward clues. I hadn't come across the verse, and have only been able to locate the vital couplet -- if the rest of it is available I hope somebody will...

Listener 4353 A Ghost Story By Kevgar

All over rather too quickly for my liking, but I enjoyed the join-up-the-dots picture-forming. Clues perhaps a bit easy for this outlet. Anyhow, now plenty of time for tennis and/or sweltering in the...

Listener 4352 What’S Missing? By Artix

Excellent puzzle. Totally misinterpreted the first missing item I found, then spent about three hours looking for eight more similar items, before realising I had led myself well up the garden path....

Listener No 4351: Failed Attempt By Wiglaf

One of the quickest solves of the year -- the definitions-only clues fell rapidly once the first was solved, and the final sentence was fairly easy to spot. Sorry, Wiglaf, but I'm left wanting a bit...

Liststener No. 4349: Black Or White By Pilcrow

Goof fun, with a groan when I saw where the end-game was going. Enough tricky clues to slow the solution process down to a normal Listener pace. Many thanks, Pilcrow....
