Fill Me In
Fill Me In is a crossword podcast, or at least, that's what it pretends to be. Most of the time, it's about other things (including, but not limited to: soup, Thor, Rosana Ñler, sandwiches, Stephen Sondheim, Viewer Mail, vuvuzelas, inappropriate glorification of the E Division, and more), but occasionally, we also talk about crosswords.

The contest went unsolved, so it continued. Another week in puzzles.
Another attempt at a mini episode. Another failed attempt.

Sound quality returns to the D- level we offered before.
Our first titled episode. We still haven't titled the show, but the episode has a name.
…because that's how it sounds. Brian works away from home a lot, so some episodes were recorded via Skype. This was the first attempt.
More Skype, but a little better. Also, we fake having a sponsor.
The whole premise of nicknames evolves further.
In t...
Still better with the long-distance sound. More nicknames show up.
Amanda gives our podcast a name, and "Fill Me In" is born. It only took sixteen episodes.
More puzzle recaps, as always. Nothing really new, to be sure.
We announce our first tournament. We also post our very first crossword construction. It's not very good.
Desperate for anything, we try the 5-minute format one more time.
We didn't know it then, but the pre-cursor to the Thunder Round happened here. 26 puzzles in four minutes.
