Martha has an expression everyone here at A Way with Words has started using: anyway friends.


They’re the ones that you instantly reconnect with no matter how long you've been apart. It seems like you can just pick up your friendship where you left off by saying, “Well, anyway…”


We’ve started thinking of the A Way with Words community you’re a part of as anyway friends because even though each of us has a different life story, we connect because we share a passion for literacy, learning, and language lore.


That means that when listener messages and calls arrive, we instantly grok them. We understand where your languagey thoughts come from because we’ve been there, too.


Support the radio show and podcast at the heart of this worldwide community of anyway friends.


Whether you listen in the car, at home, at work, at play; whether you listen by radio, by podcast, or on the web, please make a donation today.


Your gifts mean more episodes! We can’t do it without you.
