Lexitecture

Episode 127: Pitch Harmony

In this episode, Amy keeps it all together with " harmony ", while Ryan is considering sticky angles with " pitch ", that he never knew in the first place. Lexitecture is a podcast about etymology (the linguistics study of the origin and history of words). In each normal, increasingly infrequent episode, a Canadian (Ryan) and a Scot (Amy) each present their current favourite word and talk about its origins, current use, and try to puzzle out how it may have gone from A to B. If you love thinking and talking about words, word origins, or just random bits of head-scratching language trivia, this may be the show for you!
