Absolutely Wonderful
11/05/2024
Two thoroughly enjoyable people having delightful conversations about the origin of words. But the podcast is so much more than that. The humor, digressions, and asides make this podcast hugely entertaining as well as educational. Let's hope Gyles and Susie have a long running hit with this. If you liked the old BBC program, My Word, you'll love this.
Amazing

A Favorite

10 stars, 5 for Susie and 5 for Gyles. My goal is not to shout out other podcasts, but I find it funny that my favorite podcasts are all British: “something rhymes with purple”, “no such thing as a fish” and “the infinite monkey cage”. What do the names of these podcasts say about language, and more important, what does it say about me, a medical professional in Alaska!! Keep us laughing…we all need it!
Interesting….

Words are Magic

Thanks Gyles and Susie for your expertise, witty repartee and of course your honesty. Sharing your lives in this way is a great gift and I appreciate what you do! Fave word to say: lugubrious; Fave word to teach: onomatopoeia; Current pet peeve: 100 per cent!

5 Stars is not enough

My favorite pod. Susie and Gyles have such lovely voices, I could listen to them all day. Add to that, the tell great stories and play off each other so well! Of course, the topic of the pod, the English language, is endlessly fascinating. Proud to be Purple!
The evolution of language
01/01/2022
I’m so proud to be a purple person! The English language is evolving so fast and what a pleasure to witness Susie and Gyles’s conversational language evolve along as (especially Gyles) learns and cultivates his “woke” word choices. I adore this podcast. I feel like these two folks - and Gully too - are family by now. I’ve listened to every episode and applaud your wonderful work, PurpleBosses. I live in the Ozarks and we have our own very unique hillbilly vernacular here! It’s fascinating! And the local park where I walk my dogs and listen is called Gully Park! Haha Happy Happy 2022, y’all!! I hope this year is full of success!!! -Renée
