Lexicographer, etymologist and TV Presenter Susie Dent picks her Tracks Of My Years all this week.
Best known as the resident adjudicator on Countdown's Dictionary Corner, Susie has also been on almost every programme about words including 15 x 15, Word of Mouth, More or Less, and is a regular panellist on Radio 4鈥檚 Wordaholics.
Susie has written multiple books including Word Perfect, Etymological Entertainment Every Day Dent's Modern Tribes: The Secret Languages of Britain, and What Made The Crocodile Cry?: 101 Questions About The English Language. She also writes a weekly column for the Radio Times, reviews for The Spectator and has over 1m followers on Twitter
In 2019, she launched the podcast Something Rhymes With Purple, co-hosted with Gyles Brandreth, where they discuss everything from the history of swear words to the etymology of archaeology. It quickly became a firm favourite, winning the Gold Award for Best Entertainment Podcast at the British Podcast Awards 2020.
After a successful debut stage tour, the award-winning podcast will once again head out for a live podcast experience, this time hosting a special monthly residency at London鈥檚 Fortune Theatre.
Susie's next two choices come from Roxy Music and Joan Armatrading
Plus Ken's got another round of the legendary PopMaster music quiz and your dedications with today's love song. There's also the brand new record and album of the week. If you want to contact the show, just email - ken.bruce@bbc.co.uk
