A show about words may not seem the most entertaining concept but Something Rhymes With Purple is undoubtedly one of the best podcasts around. The duo of Susie Dent and Gyles Brandreth have endearing and natural chemistry, playing off one another as they share their love of language. The show is informative and interesting without being preachy; it never judges dialect or useage but embraces all spoken verbiage, and doesn't patronise listeners who may or may not include terms in their vocabulary. There is a solid format of exploring words that fit in with the weekly theme (theatre, sport, food, etc) before the break, answering listener questions in the second half, and ending with Susie's definition of three lesser-known words and a poem by Gyles. Highly recommended show for anyone wondering with certain words have silent letters or how idioms became part of our everyday vernacular.
