The change in hosts brings a breath of fresh air to the podcast. Nicole and Ben are word lovers and it shows. If you have been putting off picking up an accessible linguistics podcast, this is the show for you. They are fun, friendly, knowledgeable, and a perfect gateway drug to getting into more intense linguistics podcast. We are all so luck to have them broadcasting.

ok McWhorter has some ehhh political views ("radical centrist"? what) but his podcast does a good job popularizing linguistics/language-related topics to non-linguists and i am ALL for linguistics permeating and informing mainstream discourse

I have been trying to get this damn show removed from my activity feed for months, but Podchaser refuses to fix the issue. I don't wanna keep being forcedd to see this shit! It's nearly enough to make one leave this site altogether.
