Big Words for Smart People
Eric and Frankie are not linguists.
What Eric and Frankie lack in bona fides (boring fides, more like it) they make up for in sibling jocularity, rampaging tangents, and lighthearted ribbing. They already know you're a smart person, you don't need to be told that.
Instead, join them every Wednesday to learn a new, cool, big word to enrich your new, cool, big brain and listen in on a casual conversation loosely connected to the word.
BW4SP releases weekly to enrich your lexicon, ~30 minutes at a time.
