Thursday, March 10, 2022 - OYEZ, OYEZ, we judge this crossword quite NOICE!
A solid effort by John Westwig: Jean liked it slightly more than Mike, who was disappointed in the presence of HOSER and the absence of PASTEYMAN as a DC Comics supervillain. Still, it's hard to stay mad at any crossword that manages to work SCHWA into the grid: we give it a 4.5 squares on the JAMCR scale. We love feedback! Send us a text...

Wednesday, March 9, 2022 - Does this crossword make me look PHAT?
Perhaps not the most New York Times Crossword ever, but the theme definitely puts it in the running, as a celebration of a certain punctuation mark (that we will refrain from mentioning here to build suspense and wonder as you prepare to listen to the podcast). Just a reminder that while the New York Times Crossword is definitely not easy, subscribing to it is: visit nytimes.com/crosswords and tell 'em Jean and Mike sent you. We love feedback!

Tuesday, March 8, 2022 - All hail GERTRUDEELION!
Today's crossword is a tribute to International Women's Day, with a noble salute to salutary women, in particular, those who have won the Nobel Prize. While not all of those listed may be household names, they deserve to be, for all that they have done to change the world. In other news, it's Triplet Tuesday, and Jean again demonstrates her uncanny familiarity with rappers, of both the musical and gum-wrapping variety. We love feedback! Send us a text...

Monday, March 7, 2022 - Scoping out SKOPJE
A middle-of-the-road Monday crossword, and as is always the case we have to ask: did Jean break the 5-minute barrier, or did her keyboard melt under the strain of her rapid typing?

Saturday, March 5, 2022 - Iceland, awash in ... MOSS?
A tough Saturday crossword. Jean got waylaid in the bottom right corner, while Mike basically did the crossword twice, replacing his instinctive and usually fabulously incorrect first guess with something that oft times tended to be somewhat closer to the correct answer. In other news, we've combed through the week's crosswords to find the very best, and to find out who won this week's JAMCOTWA (Jean And Mike Crossword of the Week Award) and much more, you are cordially invited to down...

Friday, March 4, 2022 - How do you clean up a muddy document? With DOCUSOAP!
Opinions were divided on today's crossword. Jean, abetted by her vast Wikipedia-like knowledge of everything, breezed through it, whereas Mike, impeded by his lack of knowledge of just about everything except the phrase "I before E, except after C" -- which turned out to be of only limited assistance -- had to dig deeply to get to the finish line. Still, we both liked the crossword and give it a 5 squares on the ol' JAMCR scale. We love feedback! Send us a text... Contact Info: We love listen...
