I found this relatively easy with steady progress right through to the end. Nevertheless I think it's an excellent Listener, completely sound throughout. Thanks, Raich.
Another week and we don't know who set it (no clue on the Times or Listener sites)
This was a fun, enjoyable, clever solve that all fitted together nicely in the end...thanks setter...
Nice and easy does it this week, with most of the clues yielding before the penny needed to drop. My last alteration was also perhaps the least satisfying, involving the least challenging clue I've...
Listener 4189: I have read all the interesting comments, but I still don't know what to do next. It's the "extended sequence" that's bugging me; I have scanned and re-scanned but am so...
I think I've got there, though held up for a long time in the NW of the grid and an overenthusiastic wrong answer to 1 down in particular. A wrong assumption about probably the most critical missing...
For the second week running we have a brilliant new Listener setter (though Shark appears regularly in the IQ, EV and Magpie series) and what impeccable cluing. This was sheer pleasure with pdm...
A nice easy start to the New Year, encouraging me to start entering again. If there are people reading this who haven't tried the Listener yet, here's a good place to start - fair clues that take a...
While I was working on the numeric Listener puzzle a few weeks ago, I stupidly used that part of the paper to light the fire with. It was too late to buy another paper, so I searched for a...
Does anyone know where I can gain access to the online version of the old BBC magazine "The Listener"? Plenty of Universities subscribe to it but that's no good if you don't attend. Do any...
What a nicely clued and enjoyable solve. This was not the fearsome shocker we are all expecting one of these days. Please, please heed our pleas this week and don't spoil it for other solvers and...
Thought I'd begin the Friday club. What joy to see another new Listener name and what succinct cluing! A speedy fill then a delightful pdm for me with the theme cleverly holding it all together and...
Another debut! I am usually not one for Listener's where there's no PDM etc but I enjoyed this one. Difficulty enhanced by the difference in definition and wordplay together with some tough clues....
Despite only solving 2 of Shackleton's puzzles before (the Jackson Pollock puzzle and the Morse code/Beethoven prize winning puzzle of last year), I have been eagerly awaiting the next. This does not...
Not so much a Listener Crossword, more a plea for sanity. A neatly put together grid with an eye less to the difficulty of solving than to the transparency of the message. Nothing too difficult here -...
An enjoyable Listener début from Ifor (although a setter that I have solved in the Magpie, EV and IQ). I was wondering why this needed to be a carte blanche as I was solving it, but the little...
