Podictionary is the podcast for logophiles (a logophile is a word lover). Podictionary weekly combines 5 episodes, each a minute or two of talk on the unexpected history - the etymology - of familiar words. As well as word histories and etymologies podictionary peeks into related trivia and each idiom, phrase, saying or expression that might relate to the word of the day.
