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.

When we meet our childhood heroes as adults we find all the racism, sexism, and classism that our society raised us with. That's what happened when we reexamined the Nancy Drew series and took a hard look at the "American Values" that she promotes. In each episode we will banter lightheartedly about another Nancy Drew Novel, including thoughtful analysis about what social norms it reveals. Whether you've ever been a fan of Nancy Drew, or like us absorbed vast amounts of media or mystery nove ...

This was a nice Monday crossword, the 17th by Adam Aaronson, who is more partial to Saturday but we're glad to see him wander over to this half of the week.
