  • Fascinating podcast brings words to life

    Ray presents this wonderful podcast so well. The research is clearly excellent and he weaves it into a narrative that is easy to follow and makes for many “aha” moments. I’ve never understood why etymology is so niche - it’s endlessly fascinating. Thanks Ray for making it easy to learn more about it.
