I don’t listen to podcasts in general — I’ve just never found the right combo and cadence of devices and opportunity and process — but I often take a few minutes when +Stan Pedzick forwards these “GM Word of the Week” posts.
This one is glorious — an examination of the word “Wyvern” and the history behind it. In the grandest traditions of geekery and nerditude, it veers and meanders across a dozen different fields, through a dozen different digressions, and, most appropriately, starts with a discussion of the word “pedantry.”
It was more than worth 25 minutes of my life.

I usually listen at work during times I'm not going to be on the phone.
But I do love this podcast because I learn things (proper pronunciation just being one of the benefits) and because of the rabbit holes it goes down. It's like the geek/nerd version of the old PBS show Connections.
AWESOME PICTURE
