Ep. 6: Sussing Out, Sherlock
Where did the phrase "suss out" come from? And why didn't Sherlock Holmes ever say it? Plus lots of other fun words from the detective and police industry, like Scotland Yard, Local Yokel, and the Fuzz. Plus, I give you a nifty trick to help you remember how to spell elementary and cemetery, without needing to use spell checker. And in book news (12:55) is the upcoming National Book Festival; a theme park based on beloved stories called Storyville Gardens in Nashville, Tennessee; and places to go to buy books and games and textbooks that are NOT Amazon... and why you should!

Ep. 5: Sentence Errors and Beating Writer's Block
There are lots of errors that are considered 'bad grammar,' such as comma splicing, run-on sentences, sentence fragments, and dangling modifiers. But do you know which one(s) actually have some merit and can be used in your writing if you do it correctly? I have a section on the number one way to beat writer's block every single time! In the news section, we talk about trade publishers and academic publishers, the difference (in size) between the two industries (guess which one absolutely dwarfs the other one!), and why further mergers between the Big Five is really not a good idea.

Ep. 4: Sentences, Soundbites, and Piracy
There are 4 sentence structures and 4 types of sentences in the English language. We'll cover each structure and type with plenty of examples. Soundbites, sayings, mantras, and mottos--what do they do for us and why do we use them? In the news section (13:25), we discuss subscription models for books (they're here to stay), and book piracy (what to do?!).
