There's a new episode in your podfeed, about Singlish, and some of the complicated language situation in Singapore. Listen/read via https://t.co/HKuVI3PqM5 - and there's been so much feedback, there will be more Singlish coming up on the show

@lingthusiasm @JessZafarris @robwordsYT @nytimes @waywordradio and hey, maybe one day someone will write about us without the word 'dry' being in the very first sentence!

@CCSDMaskUp you know, I've been trying all year to get someone to talk on the show about renaming the eponym birds, and still no luck!

@nickinmasham and it was @felixtrench of @OvercoatsWooden who taught me that!

[Taylor Gonzales @50shadesoftayyy]

Congratulations @HelenZaltzman! Highly recommend checking out @AllusionistShow! 200 episodes is quite the achievement! 💜🥳

AND we're watching the new season of Taskmaster together because my brother @hellobuglers is in it. Love to watch him attempt to do things. Join us! https://t.co/N1enqqHJTX

[The Allusionist @AllusionistShow]

The 200th episode is out! A quiz where the questions have been set by you, the smart and tricksy listeners. I scored adequately, not spectacularly. Play along, I'm sure you can outdo me. Listen and use the scoresheet at https://t.co/pEtQn02naG

[The Allusionist @AllusionistShow]

Also a huge help, and hopefully additional joy in your life: becoming a member of the Allusioverse funds the making of the show, and you also get the company of like-minded podfans in the Discord, AND regular livestreams with me and my dictionaries https://t.co/N1enqqHJTX
