I like this series. I'm a lover of words, as I believe the majority of public radio listeners are. Drawing from a wide variety of sources, the producer Chrysti Smith has developed a piece that catches the ear very well - it's smooth, entertaining, and informative. I especially liked the epitaph, "I told you I was sick." This piece would work well around Keillor's "Writer's Almanac" or anyplace in the programming schedule where two minutes of intelligence are needed. Good job.
