Last Tuesday, MONDEGREEN made its way into the grid for the very first time, and so we were delighted to find an example of that -- ODETOJOY -- make an appearance today: first because we just adore ODETOJOY, and second because we love to work MONDEGREEN into a sentence, as many times as we can possibly get away with it -- so far, our record is two. 😉

And for those of you wondering about what appears to be a suffusion of emojis in today's grid, they are there for a reason that will become clear once you've checked out today's podcast - which we heartily encourage you to do at your earliest convenience.

Today's puzzle, fully solved.
