Wordia blog

It’s been a lively start to the spring at Wordia. The comedy contributions rumble on apace with definitions from a pair of funny Simons – Life of Si, offal-obsessed Diane Morgan, Kettering’s own James Acaster and some familiar-feeling faces from top impressionist Jess Robinson (her from the Head Cases & Dead Ringers).
Sexpert Tracey Cox got our temperatures rising with her definitions. Our red-blooded, two man crew struggled to maintain their professionalism when visiting her stunning West-London pad to film the interview. She offered to let us film in the bedroom, but that was more responsibility than we were prepared to take, so we stayed put in her living room.
We were treated to a culinary treat by Antonio Carluccio, who invited us to his Covent Garden restaurant, where he rustled up an amazing zabaglione, and treated us to a glass of his finest champagne while defining some gastronomic terms for us. More of this please. We’re checking on Heston’s availability for our next course!
We met post-punkers The Rakes, ahead of their new tour. We’re big fans of these skinny rockers, so a flooded venue didn’t manage to scupper our interview, and we were relegated to the car park for their on-camera English lesson.
Our producer’s pile of free books is growing by the day. Recent interviews with Marcel Theroux, Chris Manby, Olivia Darling, Karen Maitland and Kasey Edwards mean that his commute is suddenly overrun with choices of literature. Sadly, Tracey Cox never gave him any of her titles.
Wordia continues to grow, and our power people are preparing pitches for various exciting online delights. We’ll keep you posted on these, but in the meantime, as ever…
…keep it Wordia.
