The Allusionist // Hot Docs Podcast Festival 2019

After a sold-out show at last year’s Podcast Festival, the award-winning British podcast The Allusionist is back by popular demand and ready to delight word nerds with a brand-new live special. In “one of the funniest podcasts around” (The Guardian), host Helen Zaltzman takes listeners on a fascinating adventure into language, exploring the hidden stories behind the things we say. Did you know that swearing has been proven to make you feel good? Or that literally doesn’t mean literally anymore? In their latest stage extravaganza, join Helen and musical collaborator Martin Austwick as they dive deep into gender in language, medieval werewolves, Ms Marvel, and a boring but life-changing incident in a suburban bank. It'll be fun. It'll be informative. It'll be...funformative? Steady on there with the portmanteaus, please.

Tickets: $31 (Members: $28)
