I’ve long been interested in language (indeed, I’ve been an amateur user of two languages for about 50 years apiece now, and a professional user of one for over 40), and for several years, I’ve been enjoying John McWhorter’s delightful Lexicon Valley podcast at Slate. Now that it’s moving to Booksmart Studios, I subscribed to it there. If you’re at all interested in the subject, check it out and see if you’ll like as much as I do.
(Note that this podcast is just about language, and doesn’t cover McWhorter’s more political work related to race.)
