Susie Dent Livestream

Did you know that Scots have over 400 words for snow? How Mayday became a request for help? Or what a binfluencer is? Queen of Countdown’s Dictionary Corner Susie Dent does of course, and she returns to the Festival with Words for Life:To Boost Every Day of the Year. The leading lexicographer and etymologist extraordinaire brings us 365 words and phrases to enhance each day of the year (for the date of her event it is ‘time and tide wait for no man’) that we will want to keep for life.

Susie will be in conversation with Daniel Hahn.
