Swallowed in-joke on the podcast edition (8)
I believe the answer is:
ingested
'swallowed' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'in-joke on the podcast edition' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
'edition' could be 'ed' (abbreviation) and 'ed' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ges' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ingested that I've seen before include "Taken in as food" , "Consumed, ate" , "Took into the body." , "Consumed, absorbed" , "Took in (food)" .)
