Today's crossword is a bit of a stretch, literally, and deserves to be bookmarked  (figuratively, if you're solving online) because it includes a myriad of YOGAPOSES that might be worth knowing about, lest they crop up in a future puzzle. So, for more info on that, as well as how Jean & Mike almost managed to turn in mirror times (ss:tt for Jean, tt:ss for Mike, no points for guessing whether ss < tt, of course it is!), download and listen up to today's episode.
