A fascinating meander through the use and origin of words and phrases. Entertaining and educational, the show encourages us to think about what we say and why.

Consistently one of my favourite podcasts: witty, informative, intelligent, inclusive and always expanding my understanding of language and all the aspects of culture it influences. All constructed, coordinated and presented with care and great skill by Helen Zaltzman.

Things don't get more niche than a podcast that deals with the multi-language warning label inside Kinder Surprise one week and Hans Asperger's legacy the next, but it's done with such skill that it almost feels... normal. And once you've listened to a couple you're guaranteed to be hooked on the rest. Witty, smart and somehow wonderfully surreal.
