In 2006 Mignon Fogarty started Grammar Girl, a podcast to help others with their writing by providing short episodes done in a smart, savvy tone that makes learning fun.
Months after kicking off her new podcast Mignon was on the Oprah Winfrey Show, named by iTunes as one of the best podcasts of the year and was nominated along with us for the People’s Choice Podcast Award’s top prize.
Mignon is considered by many as one of the most successful podcasters of all time. Who knew that doing a podcast on grammar would be such a hot success?
Today Mignon joins us in our studio to talk about the common problems everyone has with grammar and gives us a behind the scenes look at her incredible journey.
Mignon’s come out with a brand new book “The Grammar Devotional: Daily Tips for Successful Writing” now available on our site.
Listen as the Grammar Girl talks about the controversial topic of sex and gender in grammar, homophones and homonyms, pigeon english and lolcats, and the possible influence twitter has on the way we write.

Loved the show! Grammar Girl and Feast of Fun were the first two podcasts I ever downloaded way back in the day. That’s because I’m a big gay grammar nerd!
Very good show that was!
Äähhmm…I have never listened to Grammar Girl`s podcast but will definitely give it a try as she was a fabulous guest.
To eloquently speak as she does is a gift!
