Reviews
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.

Podchaser53 years agoFelipeAven and Mark run through history, etymology, the classics, and a tasty beverage.
