This, friends, is a very special episode! Not only is it the first time that Ryan and Amy have been able to record an episode in the same room, but there's a special guest here as well! Kevin Stroud (of the History of English Podcast) sat on the Language Podcasting panel with us (and Mark from The Endless Knot, Mignon Fogarty - Grammar Girl - and Patrick Cox from The World in Words) and presented his own talk at the Sound Education conference in Boston. He was gracious enough to come along and bring a word of his own to chat about this episode.
In this episode, Amy looks at tidal rivers with "mystic", Ryan looks at steely opinions with "adamant" and Kevin talk about how civilized the Vikings really were with "spoon".
Lexitecture is a podcast about words. In each episode, a Canadian (Ryan) and a Scot (Amy) each present their current favourite word and talk about its origins, current use, and try to puzzle out how it may have gone from A to B. If you love thinking and talking about words, word origins, or just random bits of head-scratching language trivia, this may be the show for you!
