The Sound of Story

An exploration of language, time, and what stories once asked of the imagination

This is the Rocketeer coming at you with Podcast # 93. This week’s podcast is not an episode in the usual sense. Instead, I’m taking you on a guided tour of a space—the Language Room at Lucina Press. This new room is not about rules, prescriptions, or the policing of style. Its purpose is to slow us down enough for language be heard as craft, as technology, and as history. What I’m sharing this week is drawn from my Curator’s Notebook—an essay meant to accompany the Language Room. This is not a lecture, it’s an invitation to a new way of thinking about our contemporary written language. You can visit the Lucina Press Language Room here. You can see the original essay here.

Thanks for joining me on this imaginative journey. :)

P.S. Once you’ve listened to the samples in the Language Room, go back and listen to the clip in the spoiler for this week’s podcast. (see link below) You might find it more interesting on a second listen. Where does it fall on the decorative language spectrum?
