Many people took part, but the main crew was Daniel Midgley, Ben Ainslie, Kylie Sturgess, and Hedvig Skirgård.
All the regular and bonus episodes are here for your listening pleasure, along with the promos, where Daniel would tell what the upcoming show was about.

The team continues its linguistic adventures as Because Language, and you can hear their zany exploits at becauselanguage.com.
