Excellent, including the use of all of the language, respectfully

“I felt compelled to say after Helen Z mentioned at the start of the episode that someone rated that there were too many swears for their taste. I can respect that opinion while also being of the opinion that while there is some swearing in this show, none of it is gratuitous, and it is all appropriate use of the entire language. The fact that there aren’t airs put on to “clean up” the language is part of why I like this show so much. It’s a podcast about etymology and it’s NOT stuffy and overly snobby. It brings the fascination with words out of the proper classroom treatments and into the everyday living with language. So, to any of you out there who may have read the other review - yes there’s swears, but they’re infrequent and not even particularly rude uses of the no-no words, and she generally gives a heads up at the top of the episode about language and likely triggers. And to you Helen, thank you for being relaxed enough with us, your audience, to not feel the need to “clean up” before you show us around. Really.”

“I'm a Radiotopia fan, an Anglophile, and an AMT addict. I am a word-nerd-wannabe, as I embraced my own geekhood too late in life to have pursued it seriously. I am *so* the target listener for this podcast and wish it were weekly since I am living vicariously through Helen.”Read full review »
