In which we test out new intro and outro cadences, and we decide that veranda is a pretty boring word.

In which we discuss the Civil War and northeast US geography. 

You can also check out the recording we excerpted from the Library of Congress Folkways Project.

In which we discuss mountains, cats, and Google.

In which we learn about interesting inventions by ancient people, and we realize we need to learn how to edit out background shrieking.

We made it 8 straight episodes without a break! But sick family forced a one-day hiatus. In this episode, we're back with a word that we don't have too much to say about because it's just too hard to understand.

In which we encounter a word that neither of us knew before, and Abby experiments with voiceover music, plus some bonus sniffles from our honorary executive producer.

In which a special guest joins us and interjects himself into the conversation as often as possible.
