6. Wondrous Words from Wales

Episode 6 of 6

Phil Wang and Susie Dent challenge guests to invent new words and help create the new ultimate Unspeakable dictionary. With guests Mike Bubbins, Jason Byrne and Charlotte Church.

This episode we hear Mike Bubbins's word for bad forecasting, Charlotte Church's word for the brief glowing soul of a moment, and Jason Byrne's equally beautiful word for moving around on your chair when you've got an itch down there.

Ever struggled to find the right word for a feeling or sensation? Unspeakable sees comedian Phil Wang and lexicographer Susie Dent invite celebrity guests to invent new linguistic creations, to solve those all too relatable moments when we're lost for words.
