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.

Each May, the Scripps National Spelling Bee lines up shoulder-to-shoulder with the NBA and Major League Baseball on ESPN. For this special week, the world of sports throws a burly arm around the spelling bee and marvels at our young spellers’ performance under pressure.
Today on the Scripps National Spelling Bee podcast, we’re returning the favor by speaking with one of the most loquacious lovers of language in the world of sports: soccer commentator Ray Hudson.
A former professional player and coach, Hudson knows the beautiful game inside and out. But what really sets him apart is his seemingly unending supply of quick quips and colorful metaphors. Through his passion for the spoken word, Ray Hudson still gets to live in the game of soccer.
