To end this season of Very Bad Words, we are covering the worst word in American English. #TheNWord

My last episode was on the N-Word. I choose not to say it during the episode - neither was it censored when a guest said the word. But should it be banned from any use in an academic setting - even if quoting something someone else said? Does this help? washingtonpost.com/outlook/2…

Hey @netflix - did you like our podcast and decide to just make your own version without giving @DirtyWordsCast any credit? Nicolas Cage - did you know I did this concept in 2016-2018? 40 episodes, about shit, fuck, cunt, etc. verybadwords.com

Not quite as old as "Roger fucks by the navel", but still a pretty old citation of the f-word! openculture.com/2020/04/did-…

Some of you have asked what I've been doing for the last year. Coming September 30th, I have a limited series coming out on a subject I've never covered on VBW... wildfire.
