Listener 4218 - System Analysts by Stick Insect

I feel this is an extraordinary feat, especially constructing clues which are valid cryptic clues AND provide all of the thematic hints; the end result is a thing of beauty. On the other hand, I doubt...

Listener 4213 A Spirited Performance by Kruger

I am not sure of the necessity here to clue this with a semi carte blanche/jigsaw style. It seems to be included only to make the puzzle harder. However the clues were very easy given the alpahbetical...

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.

Listener 4205 Murder Mystery 2 by Gos
