65. Greeble w/ Ronnie Gross Jr.

Kyle and Emily are joined this week by musician and host of the podcast Coffee Clutch with Ron and Jill, Ronnie Gross, as Kyle shares the cinematic origins of the word greeble. From model-making to the silver screen, Kyle takes his companions through the history of one teeny-tiny part of the massive space opera Star Wars, missing no opportunity to flaunt his George Lucas impression.  But it’s not just that one space epic, from Star Trek to 2001: A Space Odyssey, greebles pervade the sci-fi realm and even some fantasy. Though, Ronnie has some notes on the sound of the word. 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.
