Midi Cryptic #5

Here's a fresh midi cryptic for the month of June. Apologies for radio silence to any regular visitors wondering why there was no May puzzle: it was an unusually busy month on top of the regular schedule of work/parenting. I've also been working on multiple crossword projects, including a long-overdue rescoring of large sections of my wordlist, which means cryptic construction time is further limited. In the future, I'll try to post in advance if I'm going to miss a month.

Anyway, regarding this puzzle, 7A was the seed (it seemed apt for a certain type of clue), and 15A was the toughest to come up with. 

Hope you enjoy it! As always, comments welcome.
