The WITCHING Half Hour

If you're looking for a THRILL...or the definition of BAIZE, you've come to the right place. This week on T&B we're bringing our PIZZAZZ and our PIZAZZ! It's a little bit wild, a little bit silly, and a whole lotta RADICOLOUS.

Baby, it's cold outside...and if we can't be hot potatoes, at least we can be COUCH potatoes! This week on T&B there's a BOOMLET of winter words, an AGELONG debate over AMBIENCE, and a bit of a HICCOUGHING fit. Take a listen and find out what makes this episode "friggin' terrific"!

Welcome to our annual live Thanksgiving episode! C and Jenn have brought their families to the HARVEST table and you can bet your PILGRIM DRESSING there's gonna be SPACE for PUMPKINs and GIBLETs. We only serve up the good STUFF here at T&B.

C's back and you're about to listen to an all-new episode of T&B! What you have to look forward to: We get mad about MIGNONETTE, find the logic in HOROLOGIC, and pontificate about PROPAGANDA (which, by the way, is an intentional pun that you may only understand when you get to the final segment, so hang in there!)

**This episode first aired on November 13, 2023**Do foot bones count in the NYTimes Spelling Bee? What’s the deal with New England donuts? And what the heck is Gen Z talking about?? This week we’re going back to answer these and other burning questions from previous episodes. But it’s not all housekeeping: We’re also checking the LOOKBOOK, attending the LUNCHEON, and loading up the BOOKMOBILE. It’s an episode of BIBLICAL proportions!

This episode of T&B is LADEN with PETTIFOG, milky LETTUCE and more ÉLAN than most people can handle...or should we say MANHANDLE? Join us for a tubular time...and sadly, no, we weren't drinking while recording this one. [Background piano playing courtesy of Gustave]

🎵 This is Halloween. This is Halloween. 🎵 It's a spooky, eldritch time on T&B! Beatrice has a witch's hat, Jenn has ENMITY (and AMITY), C is word-shaking things up, AND there's mysterious piano music. Just you wait, Charlie Brown!

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!
