A Way With Words Sunday 10-11 AM, Rebroadcast Wednesday 10-11 AM In Old English, the word hord meant "treasure" and your word-hord was the treasure of words locked up inside you. Plus, a shotgun house is long and narrow with no hallway--just one room leading into the next.

CounterSpin Sunday 11-11:30 AM Friday 12-12:30 PM, Rebroadcast For millions of people around the globe, the US under the administration of convicted felon Donald Trump has acted—it’s beyond “illegal”; it’s sort of “a-legal,” as if laws meant nothing—they’ve kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation, and declared that Trump will henceforth “run” that nation. If you think flagrant bullying, Mafioso, might-makes-right behavior is what international law is created to combat, and basic human decency is designed to reject—you would be supported by the majority of the world’s people.

Plus, when you're on a long road trip, what do you call that one driver you keep passing on the freeway, or who sets the pace for your car mile after mile? Road buddy? Some call them Follow Johns. Plus, the linguistic reason why some people say "SANG-wich" instead of "SAND-wich." It's a mouthful -- literally! And: thalweg, stick season, quare, jimmycane, the many Spanish words that derive from the Nahuatl language Open To Debate Wednesday 5-6 PM Millions of people have credited Alcoholics Anonymous with helping them stay sober from alcohol, but is it the best path for everyone? Those who say “yes” argue it is easily accessible to all and that its structure through the 12-step program helps people succeed. Those who say “no” argue say the abstinence model doesn’t work for everyone and there may be better alternatives. Now we debate: Does AA Work? Afropop Worldwide Wednesday 7-8 PM The first decade of the 21st century saw the beginning of huge changes in African diaspora music.
