  • BONUS EPISODE: The Lost Words
    May 23 2025

    In this bonus mini-ep, we dive into our dusty dictionaries to dig on some of our favorite words that have fallen out of fashion. Paleologisms, if you will. (And we know you will.) Some words are due for a comeback, and today they’re getting their shot!

    Theme song: “Afterparty”, by Paul Lorello, performed by Sid Seizure and the Conniption

    Edited by Alec Chambers
