Wodcast
Includes transcripts
Every conversation begins with a single word.
Wodcast (Word Of the Day, cast) is a fortnightly video podcast hosted by Benjamin Aston and Mabel Evans. Each episode opens with a word of the day, and every guest brings a word of their own. We approach the word slowly until it shows us how much it holds; about love, grief, freedom, belonging, faith, joy, and what it means to be human.
Our guests are writers, poets, musicians, scientists and activists. Season one welcomed Stephen Fry, Sir Tim Rice, Elif Shafak, Waad Al-Kateab, Nick Mulvey, Hak Baker, David Larbi, Professor David Nutt and Remi Olajoyegbe.
New episodes every other Wednesday. Between episodes, join us on Substack for word reflections, writing prompts and Wodcast Live events: wodcast.substack.com

Stats: Statistics are produced by FlightCast to help Wodcast to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. FlightCast is IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.
Tracking and attribution: FlightCast or its partners may connect the fact you listened to this podcast to an action elsewhere on the internet. For example - it may spot a device that downloaded an episode of Wodcast later visited the website of an advertiser; or it may track that a device that listened to Wodcast also listened to a different show. This form of attribution is used to measure advertising effectiveness.
Dynamic content insertion: FlightCast may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. Wodcast may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.
Wodcast is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
