Entertaining but informative
Very helpful outlet for my etymology nerd out moments
Love this show.
This show satisfies my curiosity about many words and phrases that I’ve always wondered about. Their voices are also quite relaxing yet upbeat so between content and then their audible aesthetic, I’m very happy with every episode so far!
