Join Susuie and Gyles this week as they unravel the linguistic roots behind murder. From the ancient origins of 'homicide' to the sinister evolution of 'assassination', we uncover the words we use to describe humanity's darkest deeds.

Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week: 


Suasible: Susceptible to persuasion.

Rannygazoo: Nonsense.

Fudgel: To make a big show of working whilst doing nothing at all.


Gyles' poem this week was 'The Stern Parent' by Harry Graham


Father heard his Children scream,

So he threw them in the stream,

Saying, as he drowned the third,

"Children should be seen, not heard!"


A Sony Music Entertainment production.
