Disappointing, not worth your time
I wanted to love this podcast. I like similar word play / etymology interests podcasts, but I find this one very boring. I'm a very big fan of everything Radiotopia -- alas, except this podcast. I think it was a mistake to give this podcast the green light on the basis of a general idea. Perhaps past experience deserved the "go ahead" -- but I can't help but think this prestigious spot could have gone to a NEW female voice. So sorry from a Radiotopia fan and financial supporter.Read full review »

This show, which is new to the PRX stable, holds up to the collective’s consistently superior levels of quality. It is well produced, the host is delightful as well as informative, you learn some stuff and are entertained at the same time. Well Done!

Etymology is fascinating by itself; To add to that, Helen has that perfect, jolly British sarcasm you just have to love and laugh with! Only wish the podcasts were longer!

Helen mixes humor with substance and connects words and language with real life, so the episodes never feel too precious. An incredible balancing act, made to look easy. If you haven’t listened yet, you’ve got real fun ahead.
