53. Anniversary

This week, the Butter No Parsnips gang reflects on a year of words. With poetry, leisurely strolls down memory lane, and special cameos by voices from their past, Emily, Kyle, and Seth celebrate what one year of an etymology podcast can do to a trio of friends.

Don’t get it confused for any standard year-end retrospective though, those poems aren’t written by old, white Europeans this time, they’re written by former guests, Patreon patrons, and the hosts themselves, all with one unique catch: Try to use as many of the words that have been covered on the show as possible. You won’t regret hearing the end results.

Thank you to everyone for joining us every week for the past year as we’ve explored the fascinating origins and meanings of words, and uncovered the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time. We look forward to the next!
