Perfect friendly show about words
The host are incredibly friendly, and so incredibly enthusiastic about words! Each episode has a few little offerings of different new stories, or book releases, or something pertaining to the world of words, and then most of the rest of the show is responding to calls or emails either about word meaning disputes, derivation origin questions or usage queries. Every episode also has a really excellent puzzle. That is often easy enough to do in real time while you’re listening, but almost always gets increasingly harder so that you can’t quite keep up with it. But because the host play the puzzle live it’s something you can sort of play against them, the flow of the show is that they come from the polite culture where you keep saying buy it at the end of the call until someone gives up and since I come from a culture where you say goodbye once it’s agonizing to me to listen to everyone to jockey for final, bye-bye position
