Story No.1 Calibre Encabulator
Episode description
We begin with the full Turbo Encabulator followed by my own Calibre Encabulator and then even more silly nonsense circa 2013. A whole 15 mins of jargonny-technobabble. Where the Turbo Encabulator uses mostly made up words, the Calibre Encabulator does not. Every word is real, some archaic admittedly, but most are technical and relate to watch movements and the history of time keeping. I wonder if any listeners can untangle it to make sense before I do another story explaining it :-)
Overall it is a little dig at over-zealous PR and those that believe being pretentious has true value, those that believe obscuring the truth with verbiage is clever. I've seen it and I don't like it.
