THE STORY: Ryan Hecht is a published crossword constructor. That's the show note.

Okay, we also fail to pronounce things we've allegedly learned in the past, shout out our wonderful Patreon supporters, and have a new crossword contest at https://www.dropbox.com/s/uiv5fladppg2s01/fmi344con.puz?dl=1

Stuff to click:

• The horrible "Sports Section" not-a-crossword
• Will Nediger's Twitch Stream (check it out on Wednesday at 9 ET - he and Hayley Gold are promoting "Letters to Margaret")
• how to pronounce "Qatar"

If you get bored, write something for the Fill Me In wiki.
