“What I like about this podcast is it goes into the enthusiasm of learning about the meaning or different language means of English words, English phrases and their history but also to understand how certain words that you think mean the same thing may actually have different meanings and how sometimes some things might not be understood the same way in different cultures so it takes peoples phone calls and itdoes research and it does some findings on their questions.
This also goes into local dialect, and it also brings up words that somehow might refer to an injustice. For example, the term “wigging” or the term “painting down.” Of course, there is a good amount of whimsy with their conversations between the hosts and also their call-in guests, which is thoroughly delightful.
This is one of the few podcasts that I listen to regularly, being a language-lover and social wordsmith that I am. I hope to follow in their path with my own podcast about making up your own words for fun connections. :-)”

Your mileage may vary; perhaps in listening to another episode I'll change my mind. Fascinating subject...”Read full review »

“I have listened to this podcast for at least two years and am a bit concerned at the recent rash of repeats. I know there has been talk of financial diffidculty, and if I could afford to help I would, but I hope Grant and Martha and this wonderful show won't be ceasing production.”Read full review »
