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 towards the them may also be sought here. The help should be fairly gentle in nature - aim for just a nudge, a 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.
If you do feel a post is too revealing, please let the site administrator know - email her at Norah.evoluted@aol.com. Norah errs on the side of caution, so anything 'iffy' will be removed.

The Listener is a unique puzzle and should be treated with respect.

Good fun if you like radial puzzles. Perhaps the Ring clues were too easy, and there were too many anagrams, but given there are jumbles that was not an easy balance to strike. Cheers, Samson

Rattled through most of this, with some very pleasing clues, but came up against a brick wall with 21 and 22, and the 3-word answer which crosses them. Can’t figure them out at all, so I must have an error somewhere.

I know exactly where your error is, jockie, because it held me up too. There are two slightly different ways to translate Ring 3.

It's not true that there are two translations. The one in the grid is correct. The expression with the plural is a common enough one, but it is not the title of the piece; i.e. the actual piece uses a singular noun.

I have yet to see a circular puzzle which I didn't enjoy and this one was a load of fun. Many thanks to Samson.

To be fair, Wikipedia is one of the few sources that gets this right as far as I can see. It's 90% of the rest of the internet that gets it wrong.
