Liz Recommends - The Allusionist

Helen Zaltzman channels her logophilia into a funny and educational podcast that explores the English language and lexicon

taking listeners on a deep dive into language. While the subject matter could sound dry, in Zaltzman’s hands, it’s not. The show is filled with good humor and a great deal of levity to make one of the funniest and educational podcasts around.

Zaltzman is also one of hosts of the wildly popular and long-running podcast Answer Me This!, which has been answering questions from listeners since 2007.

Description

For Both: pick a word that you’re interested in. I liked Nightmare and Ghostwriter.
