Michael Lieberman and Rebecca Goldstein are, individually, great crossword constructors: together they are greater, as today's puzzle makes abundantly clear. We loved the theme, we loved the clues, Sunday is indeed funday when it includes a crossword this refined.
Besides the numerous clues we tackled on the podcast, we would also like to draw your attention to 114A, Calls to task?, PAGES (😀); 87A, Rest area?, BED ( ðŸ¤); and our favorite, 89D, Deck out?, DEAL (🤣).
Show note imagery: NOHO isn't just so-so, it's woah, woah! 😀
