A Visitor From Anglotopia

Play

A packed episode! First, we give the least intelligent talk about the Oscars ever, because they hadn’t actually happened when we recorded, and we’d seen a total of 1 of the films between us. After that, author Jonathan Thomas calls in from Anglotopia to talk about his excellent new dictionary of British slang, and how his own name makes English people titter. Then Sam returns for the “That’s Not English” quiz and tries to guess what a “Murphy bed” might be, while Johnson wrestles with a “nonce.”
