Readers who have ever wondered how Guillaume became William or why English orthography is so challenging should tune in to The History of English Podcast. Every month since 2012, host Kevin Stroud has guided listeners on a language journey, from the origins of the Indo-European language family in the central Asian steppes, to the series of Germanic, Norse, and French invasions of the British Isles, and into the classics of Middle English such as The Canterbury Tales and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Since this is a history podcast, the best place for new listeners to start is Episode 1. On the page linked above, users can find the episodes in chronological order by clicking the "Episodes" tab in the menu at the top. Each episode can be played in a browser window, downloaded as an mp3 file, or heard on most podcatchers. Visitors looking for more can click the "Resources" tab to find written sources and links to related language podcasts. There is also an opportunity for listeners to become part of the podcast. On the "Voice Samples" tab, native English speakers can leave a recording of their voice and place of origin, to help in future episodes exploring the development of modern accents and dialects of English. As of this writing, the podcast has only just reached the 16th Century English Reformation, so there's plenty of language history yet to come.
