This month’s forecast: parting storms with a new edition of Vocabaret breaking through on July 12 to clear the air on exactly how climate change, and extreme weather, are reshaping our language.
In addition, New York City’s most-decorated wordsmiths will get into the eye of the capitalism storm, chase down the origins of hurricane names and attempt to answer whether we can ever truly predict the weather. Computer says, “no.”
Join five heavyweight champions of the word: Sam Corbin, Tim Donnelly, Jerzy Gwiazdowski, Ally Spier, and Nikolai Vanyo for an eclectic variety hour (and a half) of raucous wordplay, etymological deep dives, and alphabetic absurdity that investigates the intersection of language and everyday life, inspired by a new theme each month. Enjoy!
