Episode #1: Where Do Words Come From?—Peter Sokolowski

New England Public Radio's newest podcast, In Contrast debuts  with a conversation on words and dictionaries with Peter Sokolowski, Editor-at-Large at Merriam Webster. Sokolowski is the author of many definitions for Merriam Webster. 

He's an active blogger and podcaster with lots to say on language, words and the place of dictionaries in our fast-paced world — the perfect guest to kick off this new podcast on culture in the making.

Music heard on In Contrast is provided by the Fresh Cut Orchestra.
