Martha Barnette, who co-hosts a public radio show on language and words, WayWord Radio, loves Babel No More. The Oct. 31 show (which is archived here) has a segment on the book (it starts at 32:20) in which Martha raves about me — “one of the few people who happen to know how to write a book about language that reads like a mystery” — and about the book – “I blame the author for a couple of sleepless nights, because this is a guy who knows how to write a linguistic cliffhanger.” I’m so very grateful for her getting the word out.
