Susie Dent & Your Political Presents...

Merry Christmas Earthlings.

Can we first apologise to anyone in Croydon who saw a bright star in the sky last night - before any local wise men (or women!) head to Boots to buy up any stocks of Myrrh - we can clarify that someone just temporarily leant on the cloaking device switch in the Alboreto. You'd think it would happen more frequently - but it hasn't happened for about 2000 of your Earth years.

Anyway - onto our guest for this seasonal special - and we're thrilled to talk to the lexicography and etymology queen - Susie Dent

It's a real treat - and our gift to you - a thank you if you've listened to the podcast at all this year. We do appreciate your loyalty.

Have a Merry Christmas, and we'll be back in the New Year.
