Join in the Celebration! (A Small Request)

As we approach our 100th episode, we're asking you to help us with it: If you have any burning questions about the English language, pull out the voice memo app on your phone and record yourself asking us your question. Don't forget to include your first name and where you're listening from so we know who(m) to thank. Then email the file from that voice memo to us and we'll do our best to get to as many of your questions as we can on our 100th episode! Your deadline is July 1st. Email your question to powell@kmuw.org and kandrpetras@gmail.com. We're looking forward to hearing from you!
