As published authors, both Ian Dunt and Dorian Lynskey are fascinated with the language used to share knowledge. But what happens when that language is ill-defined, poorly aged or flat-out meaningless?

Origin Story is their response. In each episode, Ian and Dorian focus their attention on exploring a single over-used (and over-abused) word or phrase. Through a combination of historical, etymological and contextual analysis, they unmask the true meaning of our most popular misinterpreted expressions—giving listeners keen insight into the murky nature of political and societal communication.
