About this episode
We're wrapping up The Late Show Pod Show with the best of "Late Show Vocab," a game where Stephen reveals the origin stories of slang terms and shorthand only his staff knows! In the first round, Stephen sheds light on "Brap It On The Poof," "Dollar Signs," and "sack, sack, sack, sack, saaack!" Then enjoy this lovely EXTENDED conversation with poet, bestselling author, and McArthur Genius Grant recipient Ocean Vuong. This podcast was originally released on August 14th, 2025.
