Customer Reviews
A brilliant eclectic collection of language quirks from around the world
I love listening to this podcast. It gives me bite sized insights into languages and thus cultures around the world. Always informative sometimes funny. Keep it coming. :)
The best?
This podcast does just about everything right. Intelligent and articulate, often quite witty, and produced to professional standards, this (and PRI's other offerings) is captivating. I may gloss over other podcasts, but this one commands your attention.
Great show!
Fascinating! But why does this show up only in iTunes U and not as a regular podcast? Maybe more people would know about it if it showed up in the podcasts listing.
