BBC radio series about the English language and the way it is spoken. Presented by Michael Rosen, the programmes look at all aspects of the spoken word from slang, acronyms, strange vocabulary, jargon and poetry; along with etymology, and changes through time and among society. Recent episodes include, Dyslexia, in which Professor Maggie Snowling explains what it is and how to understand it, and Me, Myself & AI about how the conversation skills by the likes of Siri, Alexa and Cortana are designed. Older episodes such as The Naming of Art Movements or How Shakespeare Spoke are also available indefinitely.
