Description

Tommy, Hayley and Duncan take a long, cheerful wander through the strange afterlife of the English language, from "Bob's your uncle" and "double bubble" to why everyone suddenly insists on "pivoting" and going on "journeys".

There's fury at management speak, nostalgia for lost phrases, and a lot of laughter about how words fall in and out of fashion.

Things then drift into found diaries, abandoned philosophy books, accidental love letters, strange radio bloopers and the small, oddly magical moments you only get when someone leaves part of their life behind on a train or a tube seat.

Add in pebbly beaches, childhood mischief and a few stories that probably shouldn't be Googled, and you've got a very Rambling Retro Nonsense kind of episode.

Got a story, a rant or a ridiculous word you want us to mangle? Send us a voice note and we'll play the best ones on a future episode.
