How an episode gets made

Three passes before anything reaches your feed: reading, arguing, and writing the whole thing down so the index stays honest.

We read first

We read first

Each word starts in the reference books and the primary sources, not in the first search result. If a claim has no paper trail we say so on air.

Then we argue

Then we argue

Two hosts, one microphone each, and a running disagreement about how much a folk etymology should be allowed to charm you.

Then we write it down

Then we write it down

Every episode leaves behind timestamps, the words we covered, and index entries so nothing we say disappears into the audio.
