In this episode, the trans-Atlantic connection has been temporarily severed by dodgy Scottish internet, so Ryan is flying solo, looking at the search for truth and how he resembles and differs from Socrates with the etymology of “etymology”.

Lexitecture is a podcast about words. Normaly, in each episode a Canadian (Ryan) and a Scot (Amy) each present their current favourite word and talk about its origins, current use, and try to puzzle out how it may have gone from A to B. If you love thinking and talking about words, word origins, or just random bits of head-scratching language trivia, this may be the show for you!
