You had to go a whole month without Extreme Vocabulary? You poor thing! But have no fear, Abe and Aaron are here to make sure you feel better; sometimes by making themselves look worse! But who will have empathy for our dear etymologists? Later, Efren joins Josh to read from The Tattooed Soldier by Hector Tobar. We hope that you join us too. After all, we're all alone without you!

Ep. 6: Corn

After a whole month, you might have been getting hungry for the sustenance that only Extreme Vocabulary can provide. Fortunately, Abe never disappoints us with his well-researched and unique takes on our words. He and Aaron come to the conclusion that we have overcorned corn, so tune in to find out what that even means. Efren brings Josh an especially big book by John Steinbeck. Prepare to have your minds blown, or popped, as the case may be.

Ep. 8: Clairvoyant

What's the matter? Didn't see this coming? Perhaps you could have used the magic of clairvoyance to anticipate today's word. Or maybe it's not so much magic, as it is just the ability to write Science Fiction. Join in as Abe and Aaron ponder the clairvoyants of the past, and the predictions they made for our future. Stay tuned as Efren reads from Ana Castillo's So far from God. Josh is doing his hosting duties as usual, but you already knew that would happen, right?
