It’s our 100th episode, and Johnson celebrates by becoming a woman! Not really, but he does have more holes in him than he used to. We discuss what Brits call “styrofoam,” which gets us onto the Stylophone, a kid’s toy endorsed by a convicted paedophile. Then, listener Irene asks us for names like hers that are pronounced differently in each country, and finally we learn about “backronyms.”
Thanks for listening these last 100 episodes, and for your continued support! Some links to things we mention: the Rolf Harris “Stylophone” ad, and the clip of Tony Hancock with Irene Handl.
Ha! :). The old song, of course, is “Meet Me in St. Louie”.
I thought we Americans said “fall” because that’s the word Chaucer used. But then again, I like black licorice and Twizzlers equally, so what do I know.

Congrats on the big 100!
