When I was in school, I absolutely hated learning grammar! As the years progressed I realized that there was no escape from it! As a result, I was skeptical when I first heard about Grammar Girl podcasts. The fact that I can just listen to it (and not read grammar!) made me listen to that
first Grammar Girl podcast. I was surprised because what I heard was definitely far from the "orthodox" way of teaching grammar!
Grammar Girl provides short, friendly tips with good examples. Whether English is your first language or your second language, these grammar, punctuation, style and business tips will make you a better and more successful writer.
is a long running web design podcast. They offer great interviews with experts from the field of web design. The content is well organized, nicely presented and it is funny, too. The banter between Paul and Marcus is often the best part!
