Jordan Kirtley / KMUW

Hey everyone, a little bit of bad news this week. We weren’t able to record a new show due to some unforeseen circumstances. But you can always dive back into our podcast feed and catch up on past episodes. We'll be back with a new episode next week.


You're Saying It Wrong was recorded and produced at KMUW studios and is part of the NPR Podcast Network. Thanks to our language experts, Kathy Petras and Ross Petras. You can follow them at their website: kandrpetras.comThe show was produced by Fletcher Powell, with help from Beth Golay, Lu Anne Stephens and Karlee Cooper. KMUW engineers are Mark Statzer and Torin Andersen. You're Saying It Wrong the book was published by Ten Speed Press, an imprint of Penguin Random House, as was their book, That Doesn't Mean What You Think It Means.
