What’s In a Word?

In a word is a podcast exploring a word as a concept. This is a trusted dialogue between two friends who love language. In each episode, we will examine a word, contemplating its deeper meaning through the lenses of esoteric wisdom, personal experience, and current culture with a heavy dose of levity and banter.

Neither of us pretends to have all the answers, but we are learning to love the question, what’s in a word?

Who are we?

We are Jordan Medina and Mark Herron, the hosts of In a Word. We are two word-nerds who love to engage in thoughtful dialogue and attempt to understand the deeper meaning of just about everything.
