The February edition of Jane Magazine has a little piece on podictionary in their Reviews section:

Log on: podictionary.com
If you get off on triple-word Scrabble scores, you’ll dig podictionary.com, a podcast series that explains the etymology of a different word every day.  It’s not all Oxford English stuffy, as Charles Hodgson pulls from edgier sources, like urbandictionary.com, that deal in slang (think s’keet and e-bomb).  Blus, Charles is quite the snarky gent, as when he cites a popular definition of idiot as “a synonym for our nation’s current president.” Told you you’d like it. -Sara

The kind and funny author of Eats, Shoots & Leaves Lynne Truss has given me an endorsement blurb for Carnal Knowledge.  I’m not sure if this makes me happy for today or for the whole year.

She says:

If you enjoy the naming of parts you will adore this book. The next time someone says “I know it like the back of my hand”, you can say “Or, you could say you know it like your opisthenar!” Delight your friends (or lose them rapidly) with this fabulous new knowledge, presented by Charles Hodgson with deftness and wit.

I saw my podcast listenership go from somewhere around 800 listeners to about 1,200 after a week of exposure on iTunes.
