Ever felt vemödalen? Or presque vu? Or mudita? No? Well, maybe you have, and you just didn't realise it. Getting Emotional is about obscure emotions you may have felt, but had no idea there was a name for. Each week we'll focus on a different feeling or notion, and talk to guests who can tell us more about where they came from, and if they've felt them too.

I've gone rogue. I've done a Getting Emotional Special. Because this week isn't about one emotion- it's about LOADS of emotions. And I have an word expert (wexpert?) to help me out.
I got in touch with Twitter behemoth Haggard Hawks, aka Paul Anthony Jones, to chat all things words, and boy- he was a fount of knowledge! Paul very kindly shared some words with me that I just hadn't come across in my research, and they're so, so good. Have you felt channel-fever? Imp of the Perverse? Sphexishness? No- I've not made those words up, they actually exist. And Paul is here to tell us all about them.
On the way we learn about some extra, bonus, non-emotion words too. Words you probably had no idea even existed. Like, what do you call something on the other side of a bridge? What's the opposite of a euphemism? What do you call the first cut you make with a saw? Yeah, I can already tell you want to find out the answers. Well you can- just listen to the pod!
If you want to find Paul on Twitter (if you're not following him already) just check @Haggard Hawks, or his site, www.haggardhawks.com. And I'm there too, @getemotionalpod! Come say hello!
