Unclued, I'm far from being finished and won't get another chance until tomorrow evening but some of the clues ( 4 ac and 26 so far) lead to an answer 1 letter longer than the entry.

Thanks caphrist. I haven't heard of this setter but the clues seem relatively straightforward. I'll press on......

Wow really struggling here. Half filled grid? But lots of clashes that do not seem to resolve. confused how to make some answers fit. Help on say 1across and 11across would be useful.

1a. the chemical symbol for uranium inside a three-letter word word for colloidal suspension. Element is the definition.

Would love a hint on 21a, please.

Simon - 1ac is U inside a three letter word for a colloid. 11ac is R removed from EX..R..ION. Can anyone help me with 4 or 5 down? Also why is 21ac quarter?

Simonsays,
5 parses as R(ight) then a short word for frost in two Arizonas. Any hints on 17 or 18?

Unclued - your ignorance of the setter is surprising seeing that he has at least 60 Listener puzzles to his name. They are almost all very difficult and noted for terse, brilliant, though obscure cluing. I haven't even started this one yet but indications are that it will be exceedingly difficult.

Escuan - I've only been solving the Listener for a few months and I would assume that the hard part of this one is going to be the end game as the clues have generally proved easier to solve than say the recent puzzle by Radix.
