mardi 2 juin 2026 • Duration 13:06

Everyone has a story to tell, and why your memoir matters, with Grant Faulkner
Episode 1189
jeudi 28 mai 2026 • Duration 26:03
1189. This week, we talk to Grant Faulkner, co-founder of Memoir Nation and former executive director of NaNoWriMo, about what makes writing a memoir different from writing fiction. We look at why memory is more story than recording, how trauma fragments the way people use language and narrative structure, and why you don't need an extraordinary life to write a compelling memoir. Grant also explains what a flash novel is and why the form is taking off, and he shares his advice for anyone ready to sit down and start writing their story.

Why English creates so many words spelled the same. Why we say 'ye olde' instead of 'the old.'
Episode 1180
mardi 28 avril 2026 • Duration 15:55
1180. Why does "Ye Olde Shoppe" look old-fashioned? This week, we look at the vanished letters of English — thorn, eth, and yogh — and at why English has so many words that are spelled the same but have different meanings, such as "compact" (an agreement) and "compact" (to press together).
