It's a long show, but it's worth it, as Ryan and Brian are joined in the studio by Shannon Rapp (aka Norah Sharpe / an Expert in Sconces / "the name is fake but the puzzles are real."™). We've got surprising homophones eunuchs/UNIX, more Eric than you knew was possible, a Thunder Round of non-NYT delicacies, and a new segment of "Kealoa," featuring UGH vs. ICK.

Stuff to click:

• Daily Crossword Links: every puzzle you could dream of
• Grids For Kids, launching this Saturday, February 4
• The Jargon File (not a "secure" link, so it may not show up in some podcast apps)
• Sniglets, which apparently don't have their own website?
• This week's Thunder Round, with Twitter links where we have them:
  • My Jewish Learning by Rebecca Goldstein (this link goes to the 1/27/23 puzzles, but we talk about the 1/20/23 puzzle)
  • Autostraddle by Rachel Fabi (we did this puzzle)
  • Black Crossword by Juliana Pache
  • The Modern Crossword
  • Crossword Club by Kelsey Dixon (we did this puzzle)
