Tomtit & Baobab: A Bee-Inspired Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Now that the NYT Tech Guild strike is over, we're back on our game! On this week's episode, C's going nuts for AQUANAUTS, Jenn's delighting in DITTO, and we're both shouting, "Bees ALEE"! If you know how to get Ed Helms on board (puns fully intended) for #BeeTheChange, write us ASAP.

On T&B when times are hard, you can be sure we have things to say about the word PRIAPIC! This week on the show, we're taking stock of the CRAP that happened on Tuesday, CARPing about dicks, and standing in solidarity with the striking NYTimes Tech Guild workers. We're also revealing the final results of the #BeeTheChange polls. You'll have to listen to find out what word won, but let's just say that here on T&B, we still believe in democracy!

Who’s there? Jenn and C are live from NYC with two special guests, one unfunny NOCK NOCK joke and exactly zero LILLIPUTIANs! If you’re wondering whether you’re a DUMDUM for not knowing NUMBAT or tanking on TANTALUM...you're not. But take a listen and you'll never miss them again!

What's the difference between BONK and BOINK? Why should you know BOBOLINK? And what is Vintage Vocab anyway?? Grab a seat at the Boomer Bar with C, Jenn, and Jenn's mom, Bonnie. We're about to spill everything we know about Spelling Bee words!

It's an episode full of bouquets, BRICKBATs, SYZYGY, and BACCARAT. So shut your PIEHOLE, wipe your mouth on a NAPKIN, and put on your eclipse glasses. It's show time!

Content Warning: We talk about a word related to sexual violence in this episode. Take care while listening.

This show has TITs. This show has COCKs. But if you think we're talking about anything other than words, you are barking up the wrong tree, PUPPY! Join us for YIPPEEs, YODELs, a bit of LOLLYGAGGing and a lot of excitement over a wild card discovery so good, we can't stop saying DAG.

We're away this week, but don't worry. We've picked out the perfect episode to re-air: the April Fool's show from our very first season! The deep dive on "HOODWINK" is a T&B classic.

Come back next Monday for an all new episode.

T&B is having a wild time this week--we're breaking all our own rules and dedicating the entire episode to one very special guest. William Shunn, the mastermind behind Spelling Bee Solver⁠, is back and we couldn't BEE happier.

This week on T&B we’re revisiting a few “strands” from last week’s episode, rehashing an old conversation about FILLIP, taking another look at those GLUTEI, and having feelings about MICROMINI. Are we VICTIMs of the Bee’s befuddling ways…or are we active agents in the experience of our own game play? There’s only one way to find out.

This week on T&B we’re figuring out how to play the new NYTimes game, Strands, and following the strands of conversation wherever they take us! It’s an episode full of tangents, PENTATHLETEs, ARMADILLOs, and ARANCINI that might just serve as a NEPENTHE for your troubles. Step into the DIORAMA and enjoy the show!
