Tessa and Jamis are talented and intelligent entertainers! They’ve given me an appreciation of etymology- a word which I had never even heard of before this podcast! I love that I’m thinking about this stuff as I go about my day, and generating my own original thoughts on word etymology! It’s like the Bucks have worked their wit into my brain as well as my heart, and I love the satisfaction it leaves me.
Fun and informational

I love the approach these two have with each podcast. Super interesting and fun. I have already run into many times where I have shared some of the things I’ve learned in this podcast with friends and family. Today I read a book and came across skedaddle, which immediately reminded me of the first episode.
Full of wordy goodness

If you’re interested in the history of words, this podcast is for you! Jamis and Tessa have a great energy between them and the amount of effort they put into not only researching but presenting their “new favorite words” is phenomenal!
