In this episode of The Rouge Draft, Kelly and Loyd spend some time with special guest, Joe Crowe. Joe is a talented writer, editor, comedian, sci-fi geek, and professional wrestling connoisseur, as well as a long-time friend of Kelly and Loyd.
In the wordplay segment, Kelly discusses the word “blithe” and why it should be more common while Loyd gripes about “badonkadonk"” not being a playable word in the New York TImes spelling bee. And, as always, they share their reading recommendations.
Kelly’s Recommendation
