Episode 4
Phil Wang and Susie Dent challenge guests to invent new words and help create the new ultimate Unspeakable dictionary. With guests Jon Culshaw, Mark Steel and Anna Thomas.
In this episode we hear Jon Culshaw’s word for the sensibility that comes as autumn evolves into winter, Mark Steel's description for unnecessary annoucements, and Anna Thomas’s coinage for when your feelings of empathy for someone or something actually lands you in a catastrophe.
Ever struggled to find the right word for a feeling or sensation? Unspeakable sees comedian Phil Wang and lexicographer Susie Dent invite celebrity guests to invent new linguistic creations, to solve those all too relatable moments when we're lost for words.
