Description

We're counting down our Words of the Year, as voted by you! We're joined by our friends and patrons, and they've brought us some words we missed. And we'll go through all the Words of the Year from dictionaries and language lovers, English and not.

Thanks to all our friends who joined us for this show, and to all our great patrons who have supported our work.
