The answer to the metapuzzle is a phrase consisting of two grid entries which explains the theme entries' clue numbers.

Fun one. I expect less tearing of hair and rending of garments than has met some pgw metas.

Nice! I don't think I've ever seen a meta quite like that! (Of course, that applies to a lot of PGW's metas...)

Great puzzle and meta! Lately, these puzzles have been so hard, so I’m happy to be back on the meta wavelength, if there is such a thing.

Got a late start to this one, but it was very nice.

Enjoyed this one! Felt like part was innovative and part was more standard - good mix.

This one seemed just right. Amazingly clever construction, but (unlike some recent ones) solvable by mere mortals.
