Another Scripps National Spelling Bee is in the books, and remarkably, our ‘Pair of Aces’ featured in Episode 9 each walked away with their own trophy. Vanya Shivashankar took her prize on the word “scherenschnitte” and under pressure, Gokul Venkatachalam spelled “nunatak” like a true all-star.
On today’s show, we revisit this year’s exciting final and dissect this year’s drama with 2000 champion and sage-to-the-spellers George Thampy. We'll also get host Paul Loeffler’s reaction while recording in producer Dan Bloom’s car on the way to the airport. This team uses every minute for the love of the Bee.
If you enjoyed The Scripps National Spelling Bee and want to hear it next year, let us know! Email us at spellingbeepodcast@scripps.com and find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter "SpellingBeePod."
Catch up on our entire series on iTunes or your podcast app of choice, they'll be there long after the Bee is over. We want to extend out sincere gratitude to all our guests and all our listeners. We hope you had as much fun listening to this series as we did making it.

Here on the Scripps National Spelling Bee Podcast, we’re gearing up for Bee Week with current competitors, past champions and other masters of the English language. Today, we visit with Amber Born, a young speller who has competed four times at the National Bee in Washington, earning a top-4 finish in 2013.
Once she aged out of spelling competition, she answered the call of another mic on stage, trying her hand at standup comedy. On this episode of the Scripps National Spelling Bee podcast, Amber speaks about her time at the Bee, offers advice to today’s spellers, and contrasts the dreaded Spelling Bee ‘ding’ with the sweet sound of a crowd’s laughter. Hear a bunch of that in Amber's first standup routine, found on YouTube, here: https://youtu.be/FZtvryw1Mdo
