    Words in Action | Episode One: Room 17

    And now for something new ... Words in Action A small addition to the usual proceedings of Enlarge Your Vocabulary. For some time now we have been collecting curious words, old words, neglected words… words refusing to settle quietly into comfortable retirement. But words, it seems, were never designed to spend their lives standing stiffly inside dictionaries. So each episode of Words in Action introduces four interesting words, offers a brief acquaintance… and then places them into a short mystery in the style of old-time radio. Their task? To reveal themselves in motive… atmosphere… conversation… or character. Listen carefully. The meanings are known. The mystery— that part is yours to solve! Be sure to check back from time to time— for our next cast of four have already been selected, contracted, assembled, and duly commissioned to perform inside the next enthralling episode of Words in Action! _ © The recording may not be altered or used for commercial gain without the express written permission of Floydius-Maximus Jeremy Thomas Jefferson.
