Al-BEE-it

What do witches, bats, PEDIMENTs, and GIGOLOs have in common? They all get a mention in this week's Halloween-ish episode of T&B! Join us as we recap a scary week in "politics," engage in some toothsome talk about toothlessness, and treat ourselves a tricky old school game.

It's Jenn's BEE-day and we're feeling EXULTANT! Join our live-from-Philly party for BALLETIC moves, drinks to TIPPLE, and a call to MOBILIZE! No EMOLUMENTS, please. We prefer gifts our gifts constitutional.

After a long hiatus, T&B is back to Bee-ality! We’re celebrating our new season with liberal LABIALIZING, equivocating over ECHIDNA, and pushing back on PONGEE. Plus, we’re reviving the Wild Card with a live play of Merriam-Webster’s Reunion and, of course, our T&B signature screech. Nothing PURLOINED here—we’re totally original!

There are so many GOODLY reasons to listen to the T&B Season 7 finale! Firstly, singing worthy of TROUBADOURs. Secondly, LOVEABLE DOGGIE talk. Thirdly, LOVABLE DOGIE talk...NINTHLY, a delightful discovery of DUUMVIRATEs! All in all, there’s never been a a better moment for PEACETIME in the ARCHDUCHY. Keep up with T&B this summer on Bluesky @tomtitbaobab. We'll bee back in the fall!

Despite the widening GULF between knowledge and the lack thereof, we’re having a virtual POTLATCH and you’re invited! Whether you’re KEMPT or UNKEMPT, a MUTT or a muttonhead, join us for this penultimate episode of Season 7. It’s a CALLITHUMP you won’t want to miss.

This week on T&B: C is all about the BUNG, Jenn says BINGO, and we want to TEACH you something while we still can. So put on your CLOGs and try to KETCH up!

HECTIC times call for MALAPROP measures...or something like that. On this week's episode of T&B, we're approving the PAPAL succession, calling out the CLAPTRAP, and demanding due process. In America, everybody gets a TRIAL!

"We are very tired, we are very merry." We're back from Japan and we're giving you a groggy recap of our trip told through...Bee words! It may be an uphill climb but with FAUNA, OOLONG, and a crying baby sumo festival ahead, it's 100% worth it.

With C & Jenn on holiday, your trusty T&B emergency host and lesser-known 'Georgia Wonder', Jared, is here to keep the word herd humming along. For a whale of a good time, join us for a look into all things animal-related in this week's Bees, a new slate of Civil Words, and a Sad Sack Sentence that may have you questioning your APIAN existence.Note: No, it's not your speakers, the audio quality is a bit wonky at times—apologies!

If you have a BEEF with a word in the NYTimes Spelling Bee (or the policies of the current administration), you've come to the right place! This week on T&B, we're talking TOPONOMY, muttering our MOTTOs, and playing a fun little game we like to call...Is It LEGAL? Take a listen and play along! It's not nearly as hard as it sounds.
