What In The WordJan 04, 2022
2022 Announcement
Hi y'all! A quick announcement from Carol here at your favorite word podcast. Hope 2022 is starting off well and we can't wait to get back in the saddle with you all.
Stick around for the full 3 minutes to hear the shortest short ever on the pod as well as some delightful music to the ears at the very very end.
Thank you all for listening! We really appreciate and love you (for real)!
28 - Rainy Punks
This week we talk about the accuracy of your local weather people and the possibility of sustainable futures. (Such a departure from last week, huh?) We hope you're enjoying spooky season and we'll see you next week!
WITW Short 27 - Why Is It Spicy?
**THIS EPISODE IS 18+** If you don't know the "Why is it spicy?" TikTok audio... we need to get you up to speed, my friend! This week we uncover the meanings of some of your favorite spoicy emojis and learn about the succinct and unknown origins of soda.
1 - Quarantine Nightmare Re-Release
Hi friends! Today we're releasing a re-recording of our very first episode. It's our most played episode and we wanted to provide you with something that's a little easier on the ears.
Also, we're looking to hire an editor for our episodes! We're looking to hire urgently, and are looking for someone who is highly self-motivated and love tangents. Seriously, you need to love them to be able to sit through our un-cut episodes :) Please send your resume to portianagano@gmail.com. We'd love to have you on our team!
WITW Short 26 - Silver Lotus
This week's short is looong, but it's a goodie, we promise! Today we unpack the history of Mah Jong and we settle the heated debate around the pronunciation of Argentina.

26 - Robo(p)op!
If you're a child or you have a child in the room, don't listen to this one. It's spicy. Today we're talking about robots and corn!

WITW Short 25 - 10 Pound Heffer
Sorry for the delay, but we have another short for ya! Today we learn about £10 Pommes and the gross, but kind of novel formulation of the first vaccine.
Carolyn's Sources:
25 - Trivial Pursuit With Old Gr(o)g
Sorry, friends! I (Portia) will do a better job at researching and reading said research before an episode. But today we have the history of trivia and the story behind the word, groggy. If you like our show, please leave us a review or a rating and we'll see you next week!

WITW Short 24 - Gee Wilikers, O(h)nomatopoeia
Oh gee, oh no! This short has lots of banter. Today we talk about the origins of gee wilikers and guess the meanings of international onomatopoeias. Hope y'all are ready. We're back in the groove!

24 - Coffee Devil Poop Disks
We're back, baby! How have y'all been? Thank you for hanging around while we took a much-needed break. Podcasting with full-time jobs is hard, but you make it worth it. Today's episode covers coffee origin stories and the smelly story of "ostracize."

WITW Short 23 - Sneeze Lurking For Internet Friends
Hello! Sorry for the pause in uploads. I (Portia) am drowning in work and struggled to find the time to upload. We are in the process of hiring an editor so fingers crossed we won't have any more lags. Thank you for your patience! This week Carolyn talks about sneezelurkers and dirty handkerchiefs! Portia talks about parasocial relationships and why we all could use more time away from our phones. We definitely do want to be internet friends though!

WITW Special With Carrie Hardin of You Talk Funny
Last month we had the pleasure of speaking with the delightful, funny, and wicked smaht human behind the You Talk Funny Podcast, Carrie Hardin. Carrie is a voice actor, dialect coach, podcaster, professor, and so much more.

Hello, friends! This week we talk about one of Carolyn's favorite animals: The Turtle! And we dive into the history of rum (Did you know rum is made from sugar cane molasses. Look up the Great Molasses Flood of 1919, you will not be disappointed). Thanks, as always, for joining us on the show. We hope you enjoy this episode!

WITW Short 21 - Unbelie-bubble Reali-teas
This week Carolyn teaches us about the dark arts, oooh! Spooky. But seriously, how many of y'all are Slytherin into Draco Malfoy's bed? Portia also uncovers the equally sexy translation of boba. This is quite the episode.

16 - A-Maze-Ing Knights
Hello, beautiful listeners! This week we are talking about chivalric code and the history of clues! Do you think chivalry is dead? Does the topic even have a place in the era of online dating and Love Island? Who's to say.
We need your help with those big bubba five-star reviews! They really help us boost our show and help others discover us. Please show us some love and leave us a review. Thank you, friends and fam.
Have a wonderful week, we appreciate you.

WITW Short 15 - No Such Thing As Lazy Tetris
Last week of January! How has your 2021 been? I know we've only been trucking along for a month, but we hope it's an improvement from the year about which we do not speak. This week Carolyn teaches us about the fun history of Tetris (and most importantly learns about Animal Crossing) and Portia reads you an anecdote from Reddit.
Also, what do we call you, dear audience? What do you want your collective name to be? Send us some suggestions or requests. We love to read them.
Have a great week and happy listening,
Carolyn + Portia

This is a late one! (Originally recorded in July) This week we learn the history of paddywagon and dive into some banana facts! Are you a banana bread bud? A banana pancake pal? WHAT ARE YOU? Let us know.
Also, we have a major ask: Friends. Will you please leave us a 5 star rating? On any platform? On every platform? It really helps us out!
Special Australian Episode
This was our first guest interview, so we were still working out the kinks (sorry for the audio quality). But we were over the moon to chat with a couple of Carolyn's Australian pals, Bella and Dan! We learned all about marsupials, Captain Cook, and the importance of supporting indigenous individuals. We will link all of the books they listed on our website.
WITW Short 14 - Omg, Sext!
Welcome to 2021, friends! We're easing back into the swing of things with a short! What is your first reaction to receiving a sext? Is it a coy reply or a breathy "omg?" This episode covers the salacious sending of... special pics and a common reaction to them. We hope you're ready to start this week fresh and dive into some juicy content. Without further ado, we present WITW Short 15 - Omg, Sext!

WITW Short 13 - All Aboot Storms and Disease
Portia said December 1st, but she doesn't know what she's doing. Lockdown, am I right? This week we learn all aboot how tropical storms and diseases are named. We also discuss the origins of "aboot" and receive a quick reminder that AIRBUD IS A GOLDEN RETRIEVER AND WE WILL NEVER MAKE THAT ERROR AGAIN. Phew. Anyway, stay healthy, stay informed, let's get this bread (and vaccine).
