For our 500th episode, we got together with our great listeners for their words, stories, and inspiration. It’s a look back at the show, a look at language from our friends’ point of view, and a celebration of our great community. Dr Kelly Wright joins us.
Big thanks to everyone who joined us, and to everyone who’s listened over the years.
