Literature enthusiasts will appreciate this lighthearted podcast discussing the etymology of words, appropriately named Lexitecture.
Hosts Ryan (a Canadian former journalist) and Amy (a Scottish former
English teacher) each choose a word to bring to the table every episode,
and together they trace the roots of the word back to its origin. The
words featured on the podcast are often uncommon (e.g. "busker" or
"trepanning"), but occasionally Lexitecture covers words English
speakers use on a daily basis (e.g. "no" or "water"). The hosts' diverse
backgrounds and distinct personalities make it an enjoyable exploration
of etymology. Writers and readers alike should find many helpful
takeaways from the work these two hosts do, if not for the specific
words they choose, but in aiding you with your own etymological studies.
Lexitecture is released every two weeks. Episodes range in
length from 10 minutes up to an hour and a half. Those interested in
listening from the beginning will find more than 50 episodes (as of this
write-up) in an archive accessible via a link on the site's Home page.
Listeners can stream Lexitecture on the podcast website, or on platforms such as Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, and Google Play Music.
