Whole 9 Yards is a weekly podcast that will simultaneously educate, astonish, and amuse. Listen while we share equivocal research about the origin of words, phrases, and idioms we use every day. From the team at Big Science Pods, we bring you the whole 9 yards, the entire kit and caboodle, the whole shebang of this quick, entertaining look at our language and the history therein. Learn why we call New York "The Big Apple," what "red-handed" REALLY means and why sometimes people are "happy as ...
Three mates, Locky, Lucas & Rhys aka the "Idiots" pick a few idioms each episode to chat, philosophise and banter about.
Every other week, we provide the real and completely made up origins of five idioms. Sandwiched between idioms are a rotating variety of segments including Portmanteau Corner, Word Advocacy Corner, and "Sports?". tl;dr Two people (idiots) talk about idioms (idioms) and other stuff.
The English language is full of metaphors and similes. This podcast will look at a different, commonly-used idiom or metaphor each episode. Each season will have an overall theme for the idioms and metaphors, starting with animal metaphors. Subsequent seasons will look at sports, body, weather, disaster, and war metaphors and idioms.

Two loose morals collide to bring you the opinions of the bottom-half of society. We leave nothing to the imagination. We bring nothing to the table. And, we’ll leave you respecting us less every time. We are your “two drunk idioms.” Find out more at https://toodrunkidioms.com
These mini podcasts explain the meaning of English idioms and give examples of how they can be used in normal everyday English conversation. Transcripts are available at www.englishwitheloquence.com
