Well the GRID filled fairly easily...and that was that. I see some things that look like they should help but don't seem to be. I have no knowledge of Discord, except that which seems to define my existence, and I was spending some time with the wife so missed any Muggle Meet. I'll chip away at his for a while and then probably cry for help, or perhaps just cry.
Wendy, I did not know you were into boxing? I say that because that picture is most certainly you and Lean on Sphinx

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Got it with the help of the Discord thread. Did just enough on my own to feel ok about submitting, though it was a close thing. Don't think there was much chance I'd have gotten there entirely on my own, especially since one of my first thoughts turned out to be important and I had already discarded it.
Check out this very cool project by many of your favorite muggles to raise money to fight cancer. You get a fun puzzle bundle and good causes get $. Win-win: Crosswords for Cancer

Confused....Is there a regular Discord server for Xword Muggles? Or a specific channel in a server? What was everyone referring to earlier in this thread?

I have no idea how any of it works and it's the only thing I use Discord for.
So I open the app and it has the history of MGW advanced solve discussions that people start. On January 29, Eckless started a thread for Turn On The Radio, and the only thing in the thread is him saying at 8:35pm last evening that he deleted the thread as it has most of the answer in it. Feel free to start a new thread with new participants if you'd like.
Usually I get a notification on my phone when there's activity in there but not this weekend. It says # lounge at the top of the screen. Is this useful?

2 other things:
The grand irony in my interest in the discord discussion is that I've never actually gotten anything usable toward solving a meta out of any of those threads.
And thanks for editing the first post in this thread with the bio info on the guest constructor; since it was an unfamiliar name and there was no info on him or that the original week 4 had been aborted in the email Matt sent out with the puzzle, it had popped into my head that it might be a pseudonym that would play into the solve.

May I please get an invite to the discord server as well? Based on the comments I don't think I'll be able to solo this one.

Not enough time at the weekend after late post, and don’t think I have it in me to solo solve. Harking back to misspent hours on one-armed bandits in the Magdalen Arms… I need some nudges.

Beamed up. I needed help and even then a tactical error delayed my solve.
My avatar proves that it is sometimes better to be lucky than good!

The Canadian Baseball and Crossword Hall of Fame sounds like a pretty niche establishment if you ask me. But one I’ll definitely check out. I wonder where it’s located?

Good morning, folks! I think I have a path. It seems solid and logical but isn't leading me anywhere. I'm starting to fear rabbit hole-ism. Could someone who's solved take a look? I don't want to spend much more time on it if it's hopelessly misguided. Thanks!

Remember...
Help the help help efficiently.
Has that sentence ever been written before? Can I get a copyright on that?
:::wanders off, muttering:::
Oh, right. If you post a request for nudges, let the nudge-willing know when you have been nudged

Nearly had it solo. Had the first two steps, and the third crossed my mind, but I didn't pursue it.

I'm going to run out of time on this one. Is there a friendly nudge? I would like to relay what I see so far.

Would love a nudge on this one. Have a lot of ideas, nothing panning out.
EDIT: Thanks for the nudges!

I would also love a friendly nudge... I have some ideas but nothing clicking quite yet.

Finally on the leaderboard. I spent a good deal of time prior to nudges exploring rabbit holes -- of which there were many! Even after nudges it took some time for me to see what was probably fairly obvious to others.
