Time to come back, guys!!
It’s been 3 years since I first found out about the word nerds – never submitted a comment, but listened to most of the podcasts…

Miss you!

I find this podcast today and I think that it will help me a lot. I’m from Brazil and here it’s too important know english because of many companies wants someone who speaks english fluently. I used to undertand many english texts, but I don’t understand a conversation very well. Then, this podcast will help me improve my pronunciation.
Thanks!

How lovely that you all care about the quality of your product over the quantity and the quality of your lives over “external demands.” I feel lucky that I was late to the table with your podcasts because I still have skads to listen to and to enjoy!

For years, I downloaded Word Nerds while living in Thailand. The clever turn of a word or phrase kept my English from rotting away. So, I am VERY sorry Word Nerds has left the air. Best of luck to all of you and thanks for the episodes….

LOVE… is a word that describe your work, guys. I know that deep in my heart that you dedicated hard work as well… lots of thinking and so forth. For that I’m grateful, you’ll never know how much!
I’m Brazilian English student and I think I’ve improved A LOT along with all the fun! I’ve enjoyed this journey.
Gonna listen to all of the works again and again…. you deserve that

A big THANK YOU from germany as well. Thank you for so many episodes of the word nerds, for alle the work you put into your show and the time you spent writing and producing it.

And last not least: Thank you for being the inspiration to start podcasting myself.

I will stay tuned and hope to hear you again some time!

Hi guys,

Like someone else above said you were one of the first podcasts I found back in 2006 and I’ve really enjoyed a lot of your shows (I even recommend them in a ’starter podcast list’ on my site).

I’ll bet you got way more kudos on your ‘goodbye’ news above than any show – always the way – things are appreciated most when they’re gone! (-;

In all the hype over Youtube etc I’ve always thought podcasts were one of the best and most unique things the internet had to offer the time-pressed amongst us. That said, I’m sure the high quality productions were a huge time-suck from your end.

Cheers,

Mike

Your “goodbye for now” makes me sad. I always enjoyed your podcasts. It is one of my favourites. Best wishes and thanks for your shows. I will miss them.

Thank you all for such intelligent entertainment. I enjoy your show immensely and have been missing and will continue to miss the regular episodes. We all appreciate the time and effort you spent.

Sadly, the last “Rude Word of the Week” is “goodbye”. Thanks for the time and enormous effort everyone put into these shows for the betterment of us all. This type of giving is podcasting at its best. TWN was one of the first podcasts I listened to regularly and I enjoyed hearing your insights about words and the English language. I wish you all well.

Sadly, I only recently found your podcast. I do really enjoy and am sorry you won’t be producing anymore shows “for now”. The show was engaging, informative and well produced.

I will make due by listening to the older shows. I will cross my fingers that by the time I make my way through them you may have found a way and the energy to add more.

Thanks Again!!!!!

Many, many thanks for producing a wonderful body of work. As an author and book designer, I learned a lot from you guys and enjoyed every minute of it.
Best wishes to all of you. I’ll stay tuned…

I’ve been missing you guys since April.

It’s amazing how you managed to broadcast every week; and even when you decided to cut back to every three weeks or so I always looked forward to my Word Nerds fix.

I’ve enjoyed this podcast SO much, and have learned a lot about words because of it.

All the best,

deb

It’s sad to see you go. You were one of my first podcasts and one of the last selfproduced podcasts I listened to. You did an amazing job in the last 4+ years. In the words of a great German Singer/Songwriter:

Hab Dank für deine Zeit.
Hab Dank für deine Freundlichkeit,
für die Arbeit deiner Hände,
für den Mut der Wiederstände
überwindet, und alle Engstirnigkeit.

I will miss all of you dearly. You have become a regular part of my weekends and I will truly miss the intellectual nerdy banter. I respect you guys decision that if you cant do it 100% not to do it at all. Good fortune in all of your endeavors.

I discovered you guys while browsing free podcasts on iTunes in March 2006 and decided to give you guys a try. At that time I was fascinated with anything language, and I wanted to know more. It seems like only a few months ago you stopped doing a weekly show and announced it “we’ll put out a show every 3 or so weeks or whenever we get around to it”. It’s hard looking back on it and thinking “it’s been like that for 2 years?”

I’ve emailed you numerous topics that you’ve liked and two that even got used (the first one being Fustian Circumlocution, I forgot what the other one was), and I feel like a Word Nerd myself. When I discovered no podcast or update in a few months I knew the outcome already and a sadness came upon me. You’ve opened me up to new worlds, like the Reduced Shakespeare Company (who do the most awesome complete works of Shakespeare ever) and I thank you for that.

I will stay tuned, as anything you do in the future will be great I’m sure. I have never done podcasting but I know how strenuous it can be and how difficult it can be to do it for one year consistently, let alone 4. You guys have done an amazing job.

As always, keep on rocking on.

Thanks for all the time and effort you have put into this podcast over the years… it was deeply appreciated and I’ll miss listening to you.

That being said, I can understand how a hobby like this can really consume you and take priority over more important things like family and career when it really shouldn’t.

A sad day all around, but I’m sure I speak for many regular listeners when I say “Thank you” for many years of enthusiastic podcasting and enjoyable, thoughtful content.
