The History of English Podcast Kevin Stroud

Linguistic evolution through narrative of social/historical eras. In many ways a means of negating the current chauvinism of British separatism.
Excellent symmetry of the Harvard “live” lecture and await the pond “jump” to American English given the hints of ancestry still extant in Appalachia.
Lovely work Kevin; you are entitled to give us your full name in each episode and not be so self-effacing. Your program is singularly brilliant.

Invariably interesting. Great format, very well organized. And a lovely voice, very listenable. Thank you for this podcast!!

This podcast is one of my favorites, as I work on catching up in chronological order. A fascinating and highly detailed view of English from its Indo-European origins. I studied linguistics in Grad School and this podcast stirs 40 year old memories and fills in a lot of gaps. Highly recommended.
