In this episode, Amy keeps everything on track as the " taskmaster ", while Ryan is trying to weigh how much cheese a duck costs with " handicap ". For those interested (which should be literally 100% of the listening audience), here is Carrot In A Box . For those interested (which should be literally 100% of the listening audience), here is where you can find Taskmaster on YouTube . 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!
