The clues...
Requests for help should normally include the clue itself, the number of letters in the answer, and details of any you already have. Any additional information or special instructions, common in Listener puzzles, should also be included.
HINTS only, please, no answers.

The theme...
Help with the theme may be sought and given here. The help should be fairly gentle in nature, just a nudge, pointer in the right direction - and certainly not anything that would spoil the puzzle for others. Any posts which, even inadvertently, reveal too much of the theme are likely to be removed.

There are many regulars on the Listener threads, but newcomers are always welcome.
The Listener is a unique puzzle and should be treated with respect.

Grid all done, theme clear - nice puzzle, thanks Apt.
I THINK I have the end-game right!

All done here as well...I think this is a clever idea for a puzzle and well executed

Yes, I agree. Nice, neat puzzle. Good idea, well executed. I enjoyed the PDM.

Yes, unambiguous: no heaven, no earth, no hare ...

My answer to 12, which I'm sure is correct means it's letter count should be 7, not 8.

So near, yet so far. Completely stumped by 12a and the 2nd item. Also, are the definition and wordplay for 10a on the RHS slightly dodgy?

Just got the 2nd item, I was hampered by having one of my 6d answers incorrect.

Son1 -- you need to read the derivation of the 7-letter word in the BRB. The definition in the clue includes 'of old'.

Thank you jbird. I realised after posting that 8 had to be right to accommodate one of the 4 letter items.
