You forgot to include the Wordsy Podcast. New episodes are posted every second or third week and include interesting discussions and interviews with authors, literature bloggers as well as people with an academic interest in literature.

Useless! That’s what I keep telling people! Why do you want to know the origin of “the whole nine yards”? What are you going to do with it? Get it tattooed across your behind?

But I kid. We get a lot of strange, strange questions from people. Some of them are real head-scratchers, others are destined for the FAQ. The most important thing about it all, though, is that people are thinking about language, how they use it, how it should be used, why it’s important, and so forth. I think it makes them better speakers and writers.

Thanks for the podcast review, in any case. I’ve added you to my feed reader to keep an eye on your doings.
