Each episode of this show is packed with such great ephemera. I love that any time the etymology comes up, I haven't found any of the "folk etymology" stuff you often see and hear places--and despite the academic rigor, the show is full of fun and mirth.

Love the content and the format. But Aven has to keep voice level evenly up, and articulate end of sentences clearly. Mark can slow down his monologue sections. Other than that, great job.😊

I only just discovered this podcast. I’m listening to the back catalogue, working my way forward. I’ve only made it to episode 3: Pluto.

Apple Podcasts4MoxieMuffinsUnited States5 years ago I started following the Endless Knot on YouTube, only later I started following the podcast, and I love it!
The cocktails, all of the extra material, the interviews (loved the horses episode), the color words (mainly yellow/orange!), everything!
Congrats Mark and Aven, and I hope you can keep it up.
Podchaser55 years agoFelipeAven and Mark run through history, etymology, the classics, and a tasty beverage. Mark has thankfully slowed down in his etymology run throughs as they are so dense with information. Aven brings wonderful knowledge of what you thought you knew about the classic world and how it isn't like you thought. A wonderful podcast and I eagerly await every episode.
