With quite a bit of surprise and head scratching, we have a full grid. It took a lucky early spotting of the theme to speed our solve up enormously. I thought this was quite challenging. Thank you, Flying Tortoise.

Incidentally, there is now an excellent video online of Mark Goodliffe solving the recent Charybdis, explaining how the Listener works for newcomers. Highly recommended for all:
Great - a lot of cold solving and what looks like four separate mini-crosswords with no interaction between them. After solving about half of the clues I'm stuck.
The preamble appears to say that each quadrant contains only answers to one of four types of clue, but so far I have far more of one type than any of the others. If that's not what it means, it could have been phrased a lot more clearly.
As you were...
On closer scrutiny two of the clues I've done were less normal than I thought.
This makes more sense of things and has also helped me spot the four words as I don't have two rogue letters hampering my search!
Thanks Olichant - people do ask me how The Listener works - so now I can just point them at this - albeit it's an hour an a bit long :)
