- Where Plain Speech Went (to die)—Has it Died?Asher invites guest and colleague Steve Pruneau to comment on the first episode. Asher shames modern movie dialogue and the cultural fad of avoiding words that contain commitments. In a world of indirect utterances, there are no tough guys, only understatements. Comments on Aaron Sorkin, Jerry Brown, Ed Rendell, and others.24 min
- Talk Like Bogey, Don Draper, and Rhett ButlerTired of circuitous speech, vocal fry, upspeak, endless qualifiers, and the word "like" in every sentence?

Asher argues current, fashionable speech patterns and fad-banter lacks heart, soul, and brains.33 min
