A Way with Words - language, linguistics, and callers from all over

NPR Puzzlemaster Will Shortz - 16 Nov. 2010


Listen Later

This week, a special treat: NPR Puzzlemaster Will Shortz stops by with a quiz about slang and anagrams.

Did you know that "A Way with Words" is not produced by NPR or one of the other big radio networks? It's not even produced by a radio station. Our show is produced by a small, nonprofit organization called Wayword, Inc.

In the coming year, we hope to bring you even more new episodes. Yep, that's right -- fewer reruns!

But we need your help, so please click here and make your tax-deductible contribution today. Remember, it all adds up. Your donation in any amount makes it possible for us to keep producing new episodes.

So, OVEN WIG and HANKY OUT!

(If you need help with those anagrams, not to worry. Martha unscrambles them at the end of this episode.)

--

A Way with Words is an independent production supported by its listeners. It receives no financial support from NPR, PRI, PBS nor any radio station.

Support the show with your tax deductible donation: http://waywordradio.org/donate
