Episode 126 - Anthropomorphize
Using this word could help you appear more charismatic--not to tiger levels maybe, but close.
Anthropomorphized animals featured:
- Sheldon (and Shelly)
- Maximilian Franz Fitzwilliam III. Unlike Sheldon (who's rather shy), Max would be delighted to make your acquaintance, as long as you bring the ginger biscuits.
- Andy, Auntie, and Ante Ant
- Hobbes of course.

Awesome ! Awesome !! Awesome !!!
Wonderful podcasts !!
A delight!
This show has rapidly become one of my most effective ways of cheering myself up. No matter what mood I was in before starting an episode, soon after I begin listening I’m grinning, if not laughing outright. (Sometimes I have to pause because I can’t hear the podcast anymore over my own laughter!) It’s informative. It’s pleasant. It’s clever. It’s hilarious! I’ve learned a few new words… and I’ll never hear the word Draconian again without thinking of poor Draco being smothered under the weight of the public’s approbation!
Logophile approved!
Exactly what I was hoping for. Nice depth on each word.
