  • Don't be dull at dinner and bring bad wine!

    Dinner Party etiquette and beige buffets come under the Wordy Birds' scrutiny this week with a wine cheered giggle over what it means to bring your best self to a dinner party or to a wedding or to any social occasion.  Would you eat an oyster,  swop your name place or bring a tin of sardines as a host gift? Find out which of the Wordy's would. And would you want flowers or flaneurs at your gathering? Pour a glass for yourselves and listen in to make up your mind.

  • Tis the season to be mystical

    The 'Witchy' Wordies hubble and bubble away this week with gossipy premonitions and prophecies. In a seasonal urge to embrace alternative practices and mystical manoeuvres, this episode looks at rituals, the everyday and the other worldly.

  • Thatch trims and whisker plucking and bungee jumping

    The Wordy Birds have taken a 'funny turn' this week with a candid look at the trials of ageing, staying agile, and keeping up appearances. And, as we age, what is the obsession with dread disease discourse whenever given the chance? The Wordy Birds call time on that, and 'over plucking'.

  • Going to the Dogs

    Canine trivia, nonsense names and doggie doo doo! There are many don't-don'ts, too, in our less-than-humble opinion.  We've 'gone to the dogs' quite literally this week and dedicated a whole episode to everything we want to say about dogs and their owners.

  • Hessian Platforms, Feather Cuts and The Good Life - a milky lens look back to the 1970's

    This week The Wordy Birds get on with all the chatter in a nostalgic and reminiscent throw back to the 1970's. Were we happier then or just blissfully ignorant?  The food wasn't so great but the music and the parties were. Racist and misogynistic sit-coms were a collective experience, and have we ever managed to leave behind the fashion? In a nod to what was good about the era and what was incredulous too, Nikki and Sally settle in a for a gossipy trip down memory lane.

  • Too Wordy For Words

    The Wordy Birds are back for series 2! This week we're tackling acronyms - that's small words with big meanings.  Who knew that scuba was an acronym, and can you guess what a Bolo is? Tune in for the first of this season's episodes.

  • Soundbites and retribution

    The Wordy Birds adopt some irksome accents in this week's episode, the last in the series. It's a mixed bag of famous soundbites, retro political slogans and catchphrases that remind us how efficient and memorable language can be. It all soon drizzles into cheery nonsense though, with shenanigans in the daylight, brother/sister bands, and beard fear. Also, listen out for hints on deploying small acts of retribution, as well as dubious feedback from our listeners!

  • Double the fun!

    Getting to grips with double entendres and innuendos, The Wordy Birds dive into a diverse realm of repartee this week. Everything is on the table including troll dolls, sticky mouth-fulls, erogenous zones, Vaseline butt lifts and dodgy encounters on a bus!

  • Word chains and rock gods

    This week we look at how we express ourselves and make connections when we consider words and descriptive phrases in a chain of meaning. What do we understand by clever, intelligent, brainy and canny; funny, hilarious, wry and amusing? And how do you feel about idioms, or about being in a 'situationship' or in 'beast mode'? The Wordy Birds grapple with this, as well as banana hammocks and rock gods in this latest episode.

  • The Wordy Christmas Special

    It's Christmas and The Wordy Birds are celebrating with a glass of wine! We'll be talking about our childhood and remembering the gifts we were given, and just what we thought of them! And listen out for the 'aunties' and tales of the headless deer and a cheeky archbishop.
