Helen Zaltzman (The Allusionist): Blind dates, the word “queer," the wellness industry
On her podcast about language, The Allusionist, Helen Zaltzman has covered everything from cryptic crosswords to translations to public apologies. But don't worry: She's not judging your vocabulary when she's reading something for fun.
"When I'm not forced by work to do this kind of interpretation, I like to switch that part of my brain off," she says.
On today's episode of Follow Friday, Helen talks with Eric Johnson about poorly-spelled names, stand-up comedy, blind dates, the word "queer," horrifying kitchen gadgets, witch doctors, and more.
