from A Way with Words - language, linguistics, and callers from all over · host Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett. Produced by Stefanie Levine.

Grant and Martha dig in to colorful language from the world of food. Plus, ever think of publishing a novel? Be warned: The snarky literary agent from SlushPile Hell shows no mercy when it comes to rejections. Also, piggy banks, children vs. kids, hand vs. foot dexterity, and a bi-coastal quiz.
