Ep. 5 - 'Moist': The ick factor and damp semantics

Update: 2018-10-16

Description

Why are people so hung up on the word "moist"? Pippa and Karina wade into the damp, the humid and the slightly wet as they dismantle English's most hated word (and repeat it enough to cure themselves of word aversion).
