119. Brougham

Get ready to shine your fender and groom your horses, because this week Emily and Kyle are talking all things brougham, a car and carriage for those looking to travel in style. Our hosts explore the history of a carriage so iconic in Victorian London that it can be seen in the works of Charles Dickens, the world of Sherlock Holmes, and more. They talk about a host of other horse-drawn carriages as well, from the grand landau to the high-flying phaeton. But there’s more than one kind of horsepower on the agenda today. Emily talks about the brougham’s life as an automobile, which might be familiar to Cadillac fans. Kyle learns just how far back words like coupe and cab go, and tries to guess the etymologies of some classic cars. Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
