I subscribe to this in order to keep the back episodes of McWhorter’s Lex Valley

“This podcast feed was previously John McWhorter’s “Lexicon Valley”, which is no longer carried by Slate. But all of his old episodes until recently are still on this feed, and I recommend digging past the recent “Spectacular Vernacular” episodes and listening to John’s, then subscribing to his new incarnation of Lexicon Valley and following that. The new show “Spectacular Vernacular” comes off as something you’d hear on NPR during a sleepy, runny-nosed morning commute in winter... I would suggest that Slate find a way to be exuberant, bold, intellectually stimulating and exploratory and not just stick to safe tepid niceties ... this review was written at 6am so may rewrite when less grumpy but, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”

“I'm enjoying the show quite a bit. It'd be nice if it branched out to genuine linguistics, beyond just word usage, but even at its current level it's a welcome addition.”Read full review »
