“An Upbeat and lively radio show and podcast about language examined through culture, history and family”.

The podcast is easy listening, thanks to hosts Martha and Grant Barnette, who captivate their listeners with their relaxing commentary and engaging content.

A genius podcast concept, each episode features host Brian Cassingena bringing on some of the world’s top copywriters and marketers. Guests share their success stories, secret tricks and tips of the business, as well as the steps they’ve taken to get to where they are today.
