Discussion Forum—A Way with Words, a fun radio show and podcast about language

A minimum of several weeks is normal. They need time to do all those things that make the show so great to listen to.

I think they take lots of calls in succession, and record them for future use. I'm not sure how many or what percentage wind up on the floor, but several end up as one-call mini versions (monophones?) that fill the summer. So there can be significant delay. Try e-mailing to see if they have any info for you.

It took a few weeks (if not months, I forget) for mine to get up there. But when it happened, it was a pleasant surprise!
