On a somewhat-weekly basis, Josiah and Beth do the Monday New York Times Crossword together, and just talk about whatever comes up!

I'm joined by Rebecca Neipris of the podcast Crossnerds for this week's episode!

My dad joins me to do the crossword! The audio is a little fishbowl-y because we were recording in my sister's apartment, but still a quality crossword.

A wild episode appears! Charly Wood joins me this week, and although we never actually realize that an AM Dial is referring to the radio - which now seems pretty obvious we admit it - we still had a great time!
