This episode we hear Miles Jupp's word for the ubiquity of touch-screens, Michelle de Swarte's coinage for a Turkish makeover, and Ashley Storrie's creation for anger that spreads virally. Ever struggled to find the right word for a feeling or sensation? Unspeakable sees comedian Phil Wang and lexicographer Susie Dent invite celebrity guests to invent new linguistic creations, to solve those all too relatable moments when we're lost for words.
