- Your Next Listen: UnspeakableEver struggled to find the right word for a feeling or sensation? On the BBC Radio 4 comedy Unspeakable, comedian Phil Wang and lexicographer Susie Dent invite celebrity guests to invent new linguistic creations, to solve those all too relatable moments when we're lost for words.
In this episode, introduced by host Phil Wang, we hear Nish Kumar's word for people who forget movies, Harriet Kemsley's description for when an accident happens to you and nobody sees it, and Ivo Graham's word for the most horrible place to sit on a train.
This is episode 3 from series 3 of Unspeakable - if you like what you hear, you can find more on BBC Sounds. Just search for 'Unspeakable'.

**Important Update: The BBC will be implementing major changes to Sounds on July 21st, making it available only to listeners within the UK. As this is an unofficial podcast feed hosted outside the UK, these changes are expected to have an impact, though the extent remains uncertain. Every effort will be made to keep the service running.
