“You may be surprised at how much you learn -- Lexicon Valley is a delightfully approachable podcast about the quirks of the English language. The hosts are so personable you may not at first realize that some of the language questions they tackle are pretty big ones (e.g. How much does the culture of the times influence what is considered grammatically correct? Is Ebonics an official dialect of English, and what does our answer to that say about us?). Mike Vuolo and Bob Garfield do not take themselves too seriously, and let's face it, that is easy to do when talking about language. The editing is refreshingly simple; for contrast I refer you to the almost oppressively mannered style of other intellectual shows like Radiolab. (No offense whatsoever intended to Radiolab, but I mean, really.)
I hope Lexicon Valley continues to broadcast far into the future, because English has a great many quirks to explore and I would like to hear Lexicon Valley's take on all of them.”Read full review »

“Perhaps my new favourite podcast. As a Maths major a podcast about words may perhaps be unexpected, though not as unexpected as my previous (and now 2nd) favourite podcast being Hang Up & Listen despite my complete lack of enthusiasm for all sporting endeavours…
Go figure.”
