Description

Rebecca Goldstein and Rafael Musa are both great cruciverbalists, but together they are more than the sum of their (very impressive individual) parts -- as aptly demonstrated in today's crossword. From the amusing 56A, Something raised during Oktoberfest, BEERTENT (nice!), to the educational 5D, The first one was issued in 1936, for short, SSN, to the brilliant 32D, What comes before we go, AWAY, the grid was dazzling.ย 

We have the deets inside, as well as a fabulous fact for Fun Fact Fridayโ„ข๏ธ, so please, do have a listen (and don't forget to like/follow/subscribe!).
