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 special instructions or additional information, common in Listener puzzles, should also be included.
Hints only,please, no answers.

The theme...
Help with the theme may also be sought here. The help given should be on the gentle side. Aim for just a nudge, a pointer in the right direction - and avoid anything which would spoil the puzzle for other solvers.

If anyone feels that too much information has been given, or that the theme has been revealed in some way, please use the Report This Post button. Norah, the site administrator, errs on the side of caution and anything iffy is likely to be removed.

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

Surprised to find ourselves in the Friday club with such a tough puzzle.

A delightful subject and beautifully executed.

Thanks, Gnomish.

Very rewarding; liked the title. Thanks Gnomish.

I thought this was an excellent puzzle - many thanks to Gnomish.

Enjoyable, and timely.

A day of meetings, then I cooked dinner (rigatoni marinara) and now have about a dozen entries in the grid so still at the coo’s tail.

Exceedingly timely indeed. Some queue jumping required, but well worth it. Bravo Gnomish.

Excellent and timely, I agree. And yes, a great title.

Thanks, Gnomish, for a challenging puzzle with enjoyable PDMs.
