Phil Wang and Susie Dent challenge guests to invent new words to help create the new ultimate Unspeakable dictionary. With guests Catherine Bohart, Ed Gamble and Fatiha El-Ghorri.

Catherine Bohart offers a term for an intriguing state of detachment, Ed Gamble goes where few foodies dare to tread, and Fatiha El-Ghorri captures a way in which children are inspired by their elders.
