Customer Reviews
It's alive! & It delivers & delivers...
This podcast is very much a thing -- a thing that is very much alive. When I first began to listen to this podcast, I thought, "Wouldn't it be clever if all these five words get to be used together in quirky, zany ways?!" Little did I know the madness about to be unleashed!
Episodes heretofore have been breezy masterpieces of brevity and hilarity. Not cumbersome at all, not at all a drag. Au contraire. I find them invaluable, with refreshing wit, humor, contemporaneity, worldly wisdom and wildly creative work delivered by Posies' mesmerizing voice with Dekker's classy accompaniment. I sense that this user-friendly show is only going to get better and better. Submit your own words and sentences! The folks @wordcanteen on twitter are remarkably encouraging, receptive and accessible - I can personally attest to this; my young nephew is very impressed that they used a word I submitted and gave me credit for it. Inspiring for writers and helpful for students. I love it truly - non-snarkily - and I eagerly anticipate each new episode. Word Canteen is truly the (non-snobby) sesquipedalian's oasis.
