“Great program. The music at the beginning and the end is a bit too loud though. Would be perfect if the volume could be better adjusted.”

“One of my absolute favorites to start the day with! I just wish someone would work on the transition audio between the intro/outro and the narration. Short of that, dope”

“Recently played episodes will not go hidden and the next episode won’t automatically play. Setting does nothing for this podcast. I am so annoyed that I stop following this show.”

“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 »

“I personally love this. I am an aspiring writer and love expanding my vocabulary. They go into every necessary detail of each word and give multiple examples and uses. It’s fantastic, I am so excited for more.
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 😊”

“I don’t care about who the Webster Dictionary company is trying to appease. As a 28 year old blossoming writer who attended 6 months of college after graduating from high school in 2010, before determining college wasn’t for me, I simply want to expand my knowledge on my own. It seems I learn...”Read full review »

“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”
