The Definitive Word

How do you define a podcast like The Definitive Word?

 

definitive (de-FIN-a-tiv) adj. 1. Precisely defined or explicit … well, sometimes it’s one of those things, and sometimes it’s another, but rarely both at once.

 

2. Supplying or being a final settlement or decision; conclusive … no, we really couldn’t make this claim.

 

3. Authoritative and complete … It’s our goal, but we sometimes get sidetracked along the way.

 

4. Fully formed or developed, as an organ or structure … Fair enough. This is a fully formed podcast.

 

5. A word that defines or limits, such as the definite article or a demonstrative pronoun … This sums it up best.

 

The Definitive Word is a weekly round-table discussion hosted by Will Tristram and various guests. Each week, the panel picks a topic and chews on it for a while until a conclusion is reached, or not reached, with plenty of hilarity along the way.

We like this new 4 word system so much we decided it should stay. I’d like to see Ken Watanabe VS Bill Murry in a Ping Pong marathon that took place in an elevator and that’s right, they’re wearing Speedo’s. Maybe a tasteful onesie.
