Ever had an emotion or sensation on the tip of your tongue, but you just can’t find the word? Finally, here’s the show for you.

Stand-up Phil Wang and lexicographer and etymologist Susie Dent challenge guests to dream up new words for universal, shared concepts and experiences which have always lacked names. Until now!

We’ve got our best people on the case. Linguists? Anthropologists? Nope. Comedians!

Phil Wang and Susie Dent welcome guests putting forward a new word suggestion, hilariously picking apart each other’s pitches. Unspeakable is a celebration of language and shared experiences and it’s a cure for that relatable moment when we’re lost for words.
