Listener 4842 For Me And You By Pandiculator

We haven't had many this year which I would categorise as a "beast", but this one's among them. Brilliantly crafted, evil clues throughout, and lots of deception in the endgame - I loved it.... ...

Another complex multi-gimmick puzzle, but leading to an unambiguous result (although 10D also solves with the wrong gimmick). There's a lot of work that's gone into this, some of which I am yet to... ...

A neat puzzle. The song became apparent quite quickly and became an earworm thereafter. Many thanks, eXternal.

Listener 4838 - Work In Question By Seps

It's not my specialist subject, so I feel I made hard work of this one. Having said that, I don't see any other posts, so maybe it's just a very tricky one. A lot of different gimmicks, but there... ...

Excellent, tough puzzle with some added humour. Happy to report I'm not at THAT stage yet. Thanks, [tba]

Listener 4832 Summertime By Harribobs

A neat construction and there was a good variety of clues (a handful being quite tough). The endgame, alas, was a chore -- a nice idea though. Thanks, Harribobs.

Listener No.4831 Free-For-All By Toffee

A relatively straightforward one this week -- from a new setter? Thanks, Toffee.

Listener 4827 - A Royal Tour Of 15 By Agricola

A nicely chewy puzzle, which was a good workout, for which thanks, Agricola. But a very well-worn theme. Are there not some unexplored cultural backwaters we could mine?

Listener No.4825 Resolving Clashes By Raven

An excellent challenge. Some of the letters needed to form the across and down messages were difficult to spot. All scrupulously fair. The endgame was neat. Many thanks, Raven.

Listener 4821 - Key Signature By Almasti

Another straightforward one, but quite delightful. Especially liked being taken to the items and the work, and back to my youth. Thanks, Almasti

This fell into place quite easily, but 6d is causing me grief. Simultaneously discharges drunken volleys (7). I have all the crosschecked letters: VO-LE-S ... so I can't see what it can possibly be,... ...

I've finished the clues, I have the book & author and the other unclueds, but I can't quite get the 3 unclued lights pertaining to the first element in the book's title, so all hints and clues... ...

A remarkable piece of composition that taxed us to the limit. Thanks, Lath.

Listener 4814 Business Tax Service By Puffin

A perfectly worthy but gentle Friday Club puzzle.

A good beginner's listener particularly if they are fans of the oeuvre.

Listener 4812 Six Seconds By Kruger

A carte blanche requiring a high percentage of cold solving, as there were many unclued entries. Clues were very good, as always from this setter, and the puzzle came together with the theme, but... ...

Listener 4810 Cognitive Dissidence By Vagans

An interesting puzzle. Some of the adjusted theme words were, perhaps, slightly contrived. On the whole, I thought it was very entertaining. Many thanks, Vagans.

Listener 4808 - One Other By Chalicea

Well, this took less time than some. A decent subject, well used before, but the cluing held no real traps.

Listener 4807 Rejection By Aedites

A tricky gridfill. Clues were fair and had a nice mix of difficulty, but the last couple of rejections took me a while to spot. Thanks, Aedites!
