Happy Tuesday Purple People and welcome to what is literally our best ever, extra special, supersized edition of the show!

This week Gyles and Susie will be exploring the humongous world of hyperbole. They're stars, legends and heroes- but don't tell them I said so...

Whether you're feeling rather mediocre or you're half way up a mountain, join us as we attempt to hop off the euphemism treadmill and prove that it's actually quite nice to be quite nice!

Elsewhere Susie explains the dangers of gilding the lily and Gyles ponders the difference between inflation, truth and an alternative fact, before answering mail from you, our wonderful Purple People, for whom no superlative is too emphatic!

A Somethin’ Else production.

Don’t forget about our live show, coming to a computer near you on Thursday 25th March- grab tickets here!

We're sure there are a million zillion exasperating examples of exaggerations you'd like to share, so get in touch by emailing us here: purple@somethinelse.com.

Susie’s Trio:

Dixiefixie- To be held in a state of confinement

Doggerybaw- Nonsense

Puckeration- Anything that gets us hot under the collar 



Our fabulous new range of merchandise is now live at https://kontraband.shop/collections/something-rhymes-with-purple



PLUS for this first week we are giving you 10% off all items if you use the code purple2021. So whether you’re buying a treat for yourself or a gift for a Purple loved one then now is the time to do it.
