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.

This week, Ryan and Brian mention Passport Rummy, Banana Slingshot, and Lemonade Disco -- but only two of three are actually things. Brian cackles more than usual, and Ryan screws up the Viewer Mail song, so gape and gawk all you want.

We're putting these words here to help with search engine optimization. We don't think it will work, but you probably haven't read this far, so it doesn't matter: baseball, crossword, crosswords, etymology, game, hunt, kealoa, movies, musicals, mystery, oscar, pizza, puzzle, puzzles, sandwiches, soup, trivia, words

This week, Ryan and Brian discuss copyright, collectibles, tobacco, and the apparently hysterical death of a cat. Content is scarce ... or is it sparse? Listen to this week's Kealoa to find out!

Fill Me In is almost entirely rooted in the unnecessary glorification of the E Division ... and despite all of Brian's attempts at celebration, Ryan makes a complete disaster of everything. All that, plus a contest puzzle (!!!) from Stephanie Lane and Norah Sharpe (aEiS, WotED).

This week, Brian is joined by musical theater connoisseur Rachel Fabi for an in-depth analysis of Bad Cinderella. Actually, yes -- but we also talk crosswords and most notably draw your attention to These Puzzl3s Fund Abortion, a charity puzzle pack in support of reproductive healthcare. All that, plus a new contest puzzle (!!!) from Stephanie Lane and Norah Sharpe (aEiS).

This week, Brian can't seem to do anything right, Ryan is tested on his knowledge of music, and we leave the opening countdown in the MP3 for no discernable reason. There's a week in crosswords, some interstellar existentialism, and a rousing edition of Kealoa featuring LENTO vs. LARGO.

At roughly twelve minutes per viewer mail, we can all only hope Ryan didn't get his wish of 7+ "My Cousin Vinny" messages. (HINT: He didn't.) Also: Puns & Anagrams (and why they are good), crosswords for charity (and why they are good), and Split Decisions (just kidding).
