X-tra! X-tra! Hear all about it! Double Xs, double Ns, and two-for-one words mean twice as much fun here at T&B. This week we're BENEFIT(T)ING from alt spellings; leading the way on LEITMOTIFs; and getting the LOWDOWN on compounds. Oh, and Sam, we accept your apology.

What do you get when you mix together a few HOMOPHONEs, a bit of MACADAM, and an interview with a picture book author/illustrator? A brand new episode of T&B, of course! This week, we're arghing about AARGH, uncovering the history of HIRAGANA, and talking with Sarah S. Brannen about everything from banned books to Bee peeves. Learn more about Sarah's work at sarahbrannen.com.

METONYMs, MACADAMs, eponyms, and cardigans. In this episode, we're going down every rabbit hole we can find and ENJOYing every second of it. So pull up your TATAMI, grab your NYT Spelling Bee Buddy, and get ready for awesomeness.

Land can be FECUND, balls can be ODD, it's always fun times with the T&B pod! This week on T&B, National Poetry Month inspires us, Sam CONFOUNDs us, and some teens remind that us that we may not be young, but we'll always be extra!

On this week's episode of T&B, we BEE like wha-huh?! We're questioning everything: Why isn't it CAKEABLE? Who wore the first TUXEDO? And how does Merriam-Webster's 7-letter word game stack up to the competition? Think you have the answers? Tag @tomtitbaobab on social and let us know!

The episode in which we keep C happy, noodle on NEOCON, and learn the long and short of abbreviations.

It's the one-year anniversary of T&B and we're not here to PUTZ around. In this fan-FIXIN'-tastic episode, we're expressing EMOTIVITY, belting Broadway tunes, and having a NONILLION laughs. So pass the ⁠Mane Man, grab a slice of pi, and get ready for some wordplay, GRAMMA!

We're so excited not even QUAALUDEs can get us down! This week we're celebrating the promise of spring with a kicky grande BATTEMENT, a long but social QUEUE, and an extra wild Wild Card. 

It's time to LEVEL up, Hivemind! In this episode, we're getting our game on, having an AWKWARD conversation, and getting answers to some outstanding questions, like "Is TENTING British?", "What's the deal with pirate speak?", and "Did Bill ever make a Bee playlist"? (Spoiler: Bill did make a playlist...and so did Jenn! Listen to Bill's here. Listen to Jenn's here. And post yours here!)

The struggle is real. Jenn has COVID, C has a POULT problem, and Sam has a MONOMYNY issue. But we won't be BEDIMMED! On this episode, we're finding poetry in the taste of sun-baked garbage, seeking out AGONY's not so miserable origins, and learning how to get more out of every Bee from our friend Leslie.
