2023/12/11

If your HOBBY is the NYTimes Spelling Bee, come HOBNOB with us! On this penultimate episode of T&B Season 4, we’re tackling crucial questions like: What the heck happened with HAMACHI? Who wouldn’t want a CHIA bee? When is a PINNY not a penny? And why is “Pop Goes the Weasel” a perfect tune for word puzzle enthusiasts? We may have limited rizz, but we’ve got risibility galore…and a rousing performance inspired by Tim Alborn, if you can make it to the end.

Well Versed with Tim Alborn

Tomtit & Baobab: A Bee-Inspired Podcast ·

2023/12/05

Here at T&B, we like our TAMARI on a TATAMI and our belly laughs by the BOTTLEFUL. We also like a good interview with a NYTimes Spelling Bee-inspired limerick writer! That’s right, fellow Word Nerds, we’re talking with the very poetic Tim Alborn, and all INDICIA suggest this is one hu-MUNG-ous episode you won’t want to miss.

It’s our second annual live, mostly unedited, Thanksgiving show! In this week’s extraORDINARY episode of T&B, our families are gathered ‘round the table to give thanks for “word things and language stuff”. We’re sharing some of our favorite word-related apps, places, and games; dishing out un-BEE-lievable words; and serving up a second helping of hilarity. It’s loud, it’s crazy, and…it’s just like being with us for the holidays. (Listen to the end for a musical TUQUE surprise!)

Tomtit & Baobab: A Bee-Inspired Podcast ·

2023/11/20

This week’s episode of T&B is TEETOTALLY for the birds--and we mean that in the most literal possible way! We’re talking about the puteketeke, the gooney, and the LINNET. But don’t get your tailfeatherses ruffled if winged words aren’t your thing. MEATLOAF, PANDITs, and NOOGIEs are also in the mix, along with a wild card that Scrabble-lovers will fall over laughing for.

Do foot bones count in the NYTimes Spelling Bee? What’s the deal with New England donuts? And what the heck is Gen Z talking about?? This week we’re going back to answer these and other burning questions from previous episodes. But it’s not all housekeeping: We’re also checking the LOOKBOOK, attending the LUNCHEON, and loading up the BOOKMOBILE. It’s an episode of BIBLICAL proportions!

Remember the carefree days of youth, when all seemed right with the world and the only bodily pains you had were growing pains? Nope, we don’t either! On this episode of T&B, we are officially claiming the status of ANCIENT, distracting ourselves from reality with a GIGUE, and delving into the realms of fantasy and Facebook, where anyone can be a god and everyone has an AVATAR to prove it.

Pod O' Gold

What do you get when you throw two jet-lagged word nerds in a room, take away their usual recording equipment, and ask them to say the longest place name in the world? A pod o’ gold, of course! Just returned from our jaunt through England, Wales, and Ireland, we’re back with Spelling Bee banter, lighthearted HECKLING, and a lesson in how to pronounce Welsh all kinds of wrong.

With C & Jenn on a well-deserved holiday, they called in the reinforcements: two-time T&B guest/unofficial T&B fan club president Jared Goodman to host. He covers all your favorite segments, from the Week in Bees to Word of the Week to Strange Words (or is there another name in the works?) and a Wildcard that has to be listened to at 2x speed to bee-lieve.
