Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "Puddle" — noun, pronounced /ˈpʌdəl/, with the stress on "pud".
Narrator: A puddle is a small pool of liquid, usually rainwater, on the ground.
Narrator: In plain English, a puddle is the little patch of water you find on the pavement after it rains — the kind children love to splash in.
Narrator: It comes from the Middle English podel, a diminutive of the Old English pudd, meaning a ditch or pool.
Narrator: "A puddle in the road" describes a small collection of rainwater gathered in a dip in the surface.
Narrator: It differs from pool because a puddle is small and shallow, whereas a pool can be large and deep.
Narrator: "To puddle about" is a sense meaning to dabble or mess about in water or mud.
Narrator: Weather, childhood, driving and gardening all rely on the word puddle.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: Is a puddle just a small pool?
Speaker B: Exactly! PUDDLE comes from the Middle English podel, a small pool, from the Old English pudd, a ditch, so it's a tiny, shallow patch of water on the ground.
