“What happened to all the entries?! I have to use Spotify for it now but they stopped including the definitions in the descriptions and are now just repeating dictionary words. They have 4 episodes for the word noblesse oblige, one in 2006, 2015, 2020, and one for this year. It’s not like the...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast but would appreciate it much more if I could slow it down a bit, not the 75% option on the Apple App. My audible app lets me slow down fast readers to about 90% which is perfect.”

“I’ve been a loyal listener for a number of years. This was my first podcast each day. I noticed a change in the writing and content a number of months ago. It’s shorter, not as playful, and there’s a dearth of related words. Hope you’ll return to the more interesting format.”

“I enjoy the M-W dictionary podcast, and benefit from learning better pronunciations; but, if you are going to embarrass someone by using their name in your example, at least pronounce their name correctly. The brothers who are football coaches share the name Harbaugh. Suggestion: Re-record the...”Read full review »

“This podcast by Merriam-Webster is the audio version of their Word of the Day email newsletter. Written to educate listeners on a fresh word every day. It covers the word’s meaning, uses over time, origins, and other fun facts about it. I really enjoy queuing a few at the beginning of my day’s...”Read full review »

“I don’t expect much from a podcast of what amounts to a reading of an entry in the dictionary. However, Webster does give more in ways of linguistic history and related words than expected, which is cool. Fewer adds and less of a penchant for picking words that fit the social agenda of the day...”Read full review »

Yes there is a single ad in every episode but let’s be honest here. It’s a podcast...”Read full review »

“I’ve been working on reading (listening) to books more in my free time and it is so nice to hear a word defined that I’ve never heard before and then a week or so later come across it in a book and already know what it means. Keep up the good work 😊”

“Love this quick podcast to deepen and enhance my vocabulary.
I only wish the first and LAST thing I heard was the word and it’s definition.
My HS kids listen as well to at the very least be familiar with ACTUAL words.
I especially love the History of the word.
Thanks again”
