Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

A short, fun and occasionally not unintentionally educational podcast in which two fans of the New York Times crossword describe their puzzle-solving travails.

  1. Saturday, February 15, 2025 - CERTS - no longer at your grocer's, but at least they're still in the grid 😋

    Saturday, February 15, 2025 - CERTS - no longer at your grocer's, but at least they're still in the grid 😋

    This was a challenging puzzle -- as Saturday crosswords are engineered to be the toughest of the week -- but it also presented some DIVINE clues, including 24D, Places for subs, BENCH (delightful!); 21D, They cover top stories, INSULATIONS (ok, that was unexpected!); 28A, Things put into decks, TAPES (what are those again? 😀); and many, many more. Most of those we cover in today's podcast, and we also have a rare twofer for the JAMCOTWA (Jean And Mike Crossword Of The Week Award), so have a l...

  2. Friday, February 14, 2025 - ♫ Love is in the air ♬ ... and in the grid ❤️!

    Friday, February 14, 2025 - ♫ Love is in the air ♬ ... and in the grid ❤️!

    While Friday crosswords are traditionally themeless, today's grid was rife with subtle, almost ninja-like Valentine's Day references. That's not to detract from the rest of the grid. We were fans of 51D, One-eyed "Futurama" character, LEELA (oh, please reboot that series!); 53D, One sporting a sporran, maybe, SCOT (okay, maybe we do subscribe to Popular Sporran, what about it? 😀 😀); 61A, "Skimbleshanks: The Railway Cat" poet, ELIOT (sporran and Skimbleshanks in one grid? Heart be still!)...

    Thursday, February 13, 2025 - This crossword *rocks* -- must be all that heavy metal 😉

    This is Jim Burch's seventh NYTimes crossword. He seems to have taken up residence on the tougher side of the week, with all of his crosswords appearing on Thursday (2), Friday (4) or Saturday (1). This was on the easier side of the spectrum, but still a challenge: as always, YMMV depending on what's in your wheelhouse. Deets inside, as well as the resolution of the Great BELLLAP mystery! Show note imagery: Federal land in NEVADA (shown here in pink), takes up 84% of the state by area! We lov...

    Wednesday, February 12, 2025 - RAH, Sir Michael PALIN is in the grid!

    One of our favorite comedians -- Sir Michael PALIN -- is in today's grid, and if you have not heard of him, don't walk, but run to your nearest video source and check out Monty Python, for some absolutely transcendent humor. Then, come back and check out today's podcast for some wry remarks, none of which involve breadstuffs of any kind 🙄 Show. note imagery: The castle of ARGOS, in, appropriately, the city of ARGOS, Greece.

    Tuesday, February 11, 2025 - There were REAMS of good clues in today's crossword (spoiler alert: and no bad ones 😍)!

    Like all good Tuesday crosswords, today's had some clues that might make you pause, like 34A, Assignments, POSTS (ah, those sorts of assignments); 17A, Emoji that means "I'm crazy about you!", HEARTEYES (😍); and the fun to say 50A, Betting setting, RENO. Speaking of which, we'll bet that you'll enjoy today's Triplet Tuesday segment, so without further ado, we will write no further, and let you get on with listening!

    Monday, February 10, 2025 - The name's ANN, ... RAGGEDYANN 😁

    This was an admirable Monday crossword by Emily Rourke, thanks in no small part to an ingenious theme about ... which we will say no more here, as we loathe spoilers as much as you undoubtedly do, dear listeners. However, we do have much to say about the theme in the actual podcast, aka spoiler-central. Show note imagery: TOA Skylark, by Percy Bysshe Shelley (whose middle name is the bane of would-be spelling bee champions since ... forever) We love feedback! Send us a text... Contact Info: W...

    Sunday, February 9, 2025 - A REally Super Sunday (and, nope, that was *not* a typo)

    Some sort of major sporting event was taking place today, but both cohosts (working independently, as is their wont) still found time to tackle this excellent crossword, and while each fumbled a few times along the way, they both eventually got to the "happy-music" zone, and performed the traditional "we finished the crossword" dance of celebration. Deets inside, and, we promise no more Super Bowl puns! Show note imagery: A CHURRO, a Mexican pastry We love feedback! Send us a text... Co...

    Saturday, February 8, 2025 - A *perfect* Saturday crossword!

    Alina Abidi has crafted a delightful Saturday crossword - tough but fair, with more terrific clues than you can shake a stick at (your mileage may vary depending on your physical prowess and the dimensions of said stick 😀🙄). Among the clues that we were particularly enthralled with were 1A, What may precede a blessing?, ACHOO (nice!); 6A, School whose mascot is Big Al the elephant, informally, BAMA (awesome!!); and 5D, Snap, crackle or pop, ONOMATOPOEIA (even more fun to say than it is to spe...
