BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA

Maybe a lesser known Decemberists song, but probably one of the first ones I ever heard, we talk about "Myla Goldberg", and the person who it's about, author of the novel Bee Season. Lots of spoilers for people who have not read it and intend to, so watch out.

We discuss the spelling bee. How'd it start and what are the rules? And why is it only an English thing?

In Eurovision, we discuss a song in which they spell something, San Marino 2024's "11:11" by Megara.

Oh wheeeeere do these words come from? We’re reaching all the way back into our early CGI childhoods for a fruitful etymology topic: vegetables! Where do they come from? Why do we call them that?
