Radio Highlights
New on Saturday mornings Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett are the teachers you wish you’d had. They’re the hosts of A Way with Words—an upbeat and lively public radio show and podcast about language examined through history, culture, and family. Each week, author/ journalist Martha and lexicographer/linguist Grant talk with callers about slang, old sayings, new words, grammar, word origins, regional dialects, family expressions, and speaking and writing well.

lot of first-hand, primary research and professional language experience that informs the dialogue. It’s of high value to native and non-native speakers alike, including ESL and ELT teachers and students. But the show is not a couple of cobwebbed school-marms giving lectures. There’s almost no chiding, tsk-tsking, or finger-wagging. There’s also no ranting about language going to hell in a handbasket or the slang of kids today. In fact, what Martha and Grant have to say about the state of the English language may surprise you. Tune in Saturday mornings at 9 am CT beginning October 21.
It’s a perfect pairing! Tune in at 3 pm CT on Sundays beginning October 8 Planet Money explains the economy with playful storytelling and Peabody award-winning deep-dive, roll-up-your-sleeves journalism. How I Built This puts the spotlight on innovators, entrepreneurs, and idealists. The two programs pair perfectly with a focus on the economy and business, and are bundled as a weekly one-hour program. Travel with Rick Steves, usually in this time slot, is moving to Wednesdays at 8 pm CT.
