Low-Budget Salmonella Puppet Show, Pt. 1
Scribes Imbibe - February 02, 2021 02:00 - 24 minutes ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsWe got to record in the same place for once! It was delightful and led to enough material for a two-parter, which is how you know you've made it in podcasting. Will talks about names for concepts that English does not yet have words for, like forgetting someone's name right after being introduce...

You're Saying It Wrong, But That's Okay
Scribes Imbibe - January 04, 2021 22:00 - 22 minutes ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsLook, we're not normally good at pronouncing new words on the best of days, but "eccedentesiast" is just an exercise in cruelty.

Of Soberstones and Dogcopters
Scribes Imbibe - December 08, 2020 03:00 - 20 minutes ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsLots of weird language happening in this one!

Fauxpocrypha
Scribes Imbibe - November 24, 2020 02:00 - 21 minutes ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsFalse friends? Not us! We talk about etymological concepts such as false friends, faulty separation, and evolved usage. Will talks about a bunch of words based purely on mouth feel, like a sesquipedalian Charles Boyle. We also do a LOT of off-the-cuff research in the middle of the episode and di...

Written and recorded by Will...
Let's Get Supple for the Lord!
Scribes Imbibe - October 13, 2020 00:00 - 25 minutes ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsBoy, do we get really addled and talk way too much about mud and rich people this episode. But also, if you ever thought "moist" was the most uncomfortable word in the English language, get ready to really hate the word "supple." Written and recorded by William Phelps & Brenna Crotty Music and...
Saponification Club
Scribes Imbibe - September 21, 2020 05:00 - 21 minutes ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsWhat do sesquipedalian, uxorious, moot, and saponification have in common? Nothing, except for us talking about them while sipping on stuff. We ponder these words' origins before being completely derailed by America's positive etymological reaction to moral decay. Written and recorded by Willia...
