Podcast Overview

​​Wordplay is a podcast about metaphors, mischief, and meaning. Each episode, two pals grab hold of a common saying (like when pigs fly, can’t see the wood for the trees, or two birds, one stone) and spiral joyfully from there. What does it actually mean? Where did it come from? And what strange, silly, or unexpectedly deep places might it lead us? Sometimes it’s philosophical. Sometimes it’s chaotic. Always conversational. Think of it as a group chat meets pub garden meets that one friend who overthinks everything - in the best possible way.

Ep 17: Don't Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth

<p>From riot women to Hippogriffs, this one’s a ride. In this episode of the Wordplay podcast, we dig into the history of “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth”. A phrase about gratitude, suspicion, and the strange etiquette of receiving things. Rachel actually did the research this time (miracles happen), so expect tales of ancient horse-trading, Buckbeak’s moral compass, and the social minefield of gift-giving. We also spiral into the semantics of generosity, the psychology of saying thank you, and why some gifts come with invisible strings… before, inevitably, beating the dead horse.</p><p>If you enjoyed this conversation, follow the podcast, leave us a review, tell your friends, or reach out to us directly on Instagram.

Ep 16: Hold Your Horses

<p>Patience might be a virtue, but it’s definitely not our strong suit. In this episode of the Wordplay podcast, we tackle “hold your horses” and gallop through animal racing (which we know absolutely nothing about), being picked last in school sports, and planning lunch before breakfast is even over. There’s talk of 1800s America, front-line battle scenes in Game of Thrones, and a few mild existential crises along the way. All in all, a steady trot through chaos, curiosity, and the struggle to slow down.</p><p>If you enjoyed this conversation, follow the podcast, leave us a review, tell your friends, or reach out to us directly on Instagram.

Ep 15: The Cat's Out The Bag

<p>Secrets never stay hidden for long, and ours tend to tumble out with a dramatic flourish. In this episode of the Wordplay podcast, we unwrap “the cat’s out the bag” and talk about surprise parties, unexpected confessions, and why a good room redecoration can change your whole mood. There’s also a questionable debate about whether dogs land on their feet, a detour into life at sea, and a full celebration of the chaotic masterpiece that is The Sims Medieval.<br></p><p>If you enjoyed this conversation, follow the podcast, leave us a review, tell your friends, or reach out to us directly on Instagram.
