41. Logology w/ T Campbell

Emily and Kyle chat it up with writer T Campbell in this puzzling episode of Butter No Parsnips as they uncover the multiple meanings of the term 'logology' and venture into the fascinating world of wordplay.  They get the scoop on the recently shuttered wordplay journal Word Ways, but find hope in Campbell’s newly launched Journal of Wordplay. He delights them with tastes of submissions so far including abecedarian sentences, spoonerisms, alphagraphic arithmetic, hidden words, and all of the AI technology in between. He even brings a few to life with some brain bending on-air examples. Campbell even lifts the veil on what it means to be not just a crossword enthusiast, but designer as well, as he shares some details of what it takes to design a record breaking crossword. 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.
