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.

Hi Eric and Jeffrey, I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to let you know that I was talking with Ryan Hecht the other day, and we were both so honored by your FILL ME IN website. In fact, we were so moved, we created a small surprise for you. Well, not very small. It’s about 109 minutes long. -- Fill Me In ended its initial run in March 2011. Four years (and many major life changes) later, Ryan and Brian reunited for something akin to a "Where Are They Now?" special, inspired in no small part

Some have said it’s the end of an era. We think it’s just something we decided not to do anymore.

But seriously, if you're going back to these old chestnuts, do you need show notes? No, you're a die-hard, stop-at-nothing, rabidly fanatical minion who will hungrily consume the glory days through badly recorded annals of Ryan and Brian lore. Your
