Rnz: The Podcast Hour

The English language is full of weird and wonderful words and 'The Allusionist' (Radiotopia) delights in finding the stories behind them and discovering how we're using language today. We share some of episode called 'Yes, As In' that speaks to people with unusual names, and chat to host Helen Zaltzman about her podcasting past, and what it's like to take the show on the road (she's in New Zealand next week for 3 live shows).
