Word of Mouth: Crowning Glory

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Michael Rosen presents the last of the series of programmes about words and the way we speak.

To keep warm there are beavers, Phrygians, fedoras and calpacs: words for articles you wear on the head to make a statement. Plus a look at German idioms used in English to express the Zeitgeist.
