"Podcast". Now that's a word we've never heard in the Correct Realm. We're told it's some sort of audible murmuration in which people are able to share their thoughts and feelings directly into your ears. It sounds mad, and to be honest it doesn’t sound true. However, we’re led to believe that this week’s guest is a pioneer in the world of podcasting, so we’ll suspend our belief as she walks through our doors. It’s broadcaster, writer and podcaster Helen Zaltzman.Helen was one of the very early adopters of podcasting, and will be looked back on as one of the key players in its infancy. She still podcasts, and her wonderful series ‘The Allusionist’ is well worth a listen if you’re a fan of all things language. You may also notice that she’s the second Zaltzman to enter The Moon Under Water, but we’re almost certain that Helen’s pub will be less bizarre than Andy’s.
