Listen "Misused and Abused, I: Shimmying, jiving, possibly some words that have nothing to do with dancing"
Episode Synopsis
"Bet," "based," "goated": we're in a brave new world of hyperfast coinage. But does this phase faze you? Are you nonplussed? Episode 2 provides the answers to help elegantly shimmy (or perhaps shinny) your way out of these uncomfortable questions. Divagations include: the merits of Goodfellas v. Casino, the shenanigans of Norman Mailer and other literary bad boys, and various ways to break out of jail.Questions/comments/ideas/snark go in the comments. We love you.Thing 1: Ryan DavisThing 2: Mike LawsProducer: Amanda DarrachFind all your favorite Red Pen songs over on the Red Pen Official Playlist.
