At the museum of podcasting perhaps I can be a docent

podcast-logo.png Today's word is one I have learned over and over again. Sadly I forget it over and over again too. This week I was reminded of it again by the TV cartoon The Simpsons. The word is docent.

A docent is a person who lead tours through museums or art galleries. Merriam-Webster also lists a docent as a university lecturer or teacher.

The word is derived from the Latin docere, meaning to teach.
