Media Materials

This page is for media outlets, reporters, journalists, event managers, stations, and other people who may be writing about the program or its personnel.

How to Refer to the Program

• A good short description of the show is: “A Way with Words is a call-in public radio show about language. It’s heard across the country and around the world by broadcast and podcast.”

A Way with Words is a nationwide public radio show, but it’s not an NPR show because NPR does not own, operate, produce, or distribute the program. So, it should NOT be described as “NPR’s A Way with Words.” You can call it “public radio’s A Way with Words.”

• We prefer to lowercase the “with” in the name, but if your copyeditor says differently, we’re fine with that.

• The show is a radio show that is also distributed as a podcast, so it should not only be called a podcast.
