A Way With Words with Martha Barnette & Grant Barrett

Thursday, October 30 / A Way With Words with Martha Barnette & Grant Barrett

Join us at Joseph-Beth Booksellers for a special event with A Way with Words, the upbeat and lively public radio show and podcast about language, culture and communication. Each week, listeners call in to discuss word origins, slang, regional dialects, grammar and more with co-hosts Martha Barnette (a Louisville native) and Grant Barrett. Since its launch in 1998, the popular show has gained a devoted nationwide audience and is broadcast in 43 states across the U.S. and beyond. At our event, the hosts will share behind-the-scenes stories, answer questions and engage the audience in a lively discussion about the ways language shapes our lives.
