“I listen to this show regularly. I’m a hobby linguist who loves listening and reading anything that has to do language. I have to say that at first I wasn’t so sure about Gretchen. I thought she came off as overbearing. She definitely tends to dominate most of the conversations with Lauren and her rapid breathless speech kind of stressed me out. The more I’ve listened, the more I feel I’ve better understood their dynamic, and it works.
I wish they would get more guests on to highlight recent research in linguistics. I love all the episodes, but I think too many have like a fun fact vibe to them and are very uncontroversial. Like I said, I like the show. Four stars presently, but I know this show will only get better.”
