Milne They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace - Christopher Robin went down with Alice. Alice is marrying one of the guard. "A soldier's life is terrible hard," Says Alice. They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace - Christopher Robin went down with Alice. We saw a guard in a sentry-box. "One of the sergeants looks after their socks," Says Alice. They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace - Christopher Robin went down with Alice. We looked for the King, but he never came. "Well, God take care of him, all the same," Says Alice. They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace - Christopher Robin went down with Alice. They've great big parties inside the grounds. "I wouldn't be King for a hundred pounds," Says Alice. They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace - Christopher Robin went down with Alice. A face looked out, but it wasn't the King's. "He's much too busy a-signing things," Says Alice. They're changing guard at Buckingham Palace - Christopher Robin went down with Alice. "Do you think the King knows all about me?" "Sure to, dear, but it's time for tea," Says Alice.

Ever found yourself wondering why we say "butterfly" or what a "snollygoster" might be? Lexicographer Susie Dent and writer Gyles Brandreth have built a delightful space to explore exactly that. Their Something Rhymes with Purple podcast feels less like a lesson and more like eavesdropping on a wonderfully meandering conversation between two deeply knowledgeable friends. Each episode digs into the quirks and histories of our language, unearthing surprising etymologies and forgotten words that deserve a comeback. You'll come away not just with an enhanced vocabulary, but with stories about how words shaped history and culture, all delivered with a warm, witty charm. It’s this blend of genuine expertise and playful camaraderie that has earned the show its award-winning status. While the journey through language is the main attraction, the tone is consistently light and often humorous, fitting its home in arts, comedy, and education. Produced by Sony Music Entertainment, the podcast is a regular invitation to rediscover the joy and sheer oddity of the English language. For those who find themselves captivated, there are avenues to join a community of fellow word enthusiasts and dive even deeper.
