Latest / Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone

Episode 92: Do Ya Think I’m Lexi?

Who gets the last word on words? Emily Brewster does! She’s the Senior Editor at Merriam-Webster, and she’s on hand to explain how a real lexicographer decides what’s what and what isn’t. Also, a new auction, and Paula and Adam adjust to quarantine by letting Toni do their Japanese Kit Kat taste test for them. Social distancing has never tasted so weird!
