“I have a deep interest in languages and have been enjoying John McWorters’ podcast Lexicon Valley on Booksmart Studio so was happy to find his earlier linguistic musings here as well as the archive of equally linguistically interesting older (2012 to around 2017) episodes of Lexicon Valley by a couple of other linguists.
My gripe is that Slate has thrown these non-political linguistic podcasts together with later commentaries about US partisan issues. Why not separate them into different feeds? People interested in linguistics may or, especially if non-Amrricans, may not be interested in American political issues. And people interested in contemporary American issues may not be particularly interested in linguistics and language issues. Moreover, the title with “debate” is incorrect. The two linguists are not debating each other. They are discussing certain questions— and usually seem to agree with each other. No debates.”

“These guys no how to take what could be a boring subject and add just the right amount of history, humor and mystery to keep me wanting next week to show up sooner. And big ups for having the balls to do episode 2 out of the gate.”

“This podcast is by far the best in its class (yes, there are others that cover topics like this). The hosts are funny and memorable, the topics are interesting, and the production is top notch. I truly hope this program gets picked up for more episodes, I've enjoyed it immensely thus far.”Read full review »

“I have been wanting a podcast like this. I thought I was going to have to make my own. Love the humor, love the musical interludes, look froward to a wide variety of topics. And I already got my partner to download it too! Thank you!”
