(1:58)\r\n\r\nRhythm in the 'frozen register' (a term we picked up from Prof. Cheryl Carter) (3:33)\r\n\r\n\r\nSong: 'Rhythm Hymn,' by The Franks (9:44)\r\n\r\n\r\nRhythm as a mnemonic device. We recall 'A Prayer of St. Chrysotom,' not having heard it in over 20 years. (14:51)\r\n\r\n\r\nMusic bumper from 'Move to my Beat' by Cool Cluster (17:27)\r\n\r\n\r\nRude word of the week: 'stumblebum' (18:04)\r\n\r\n\r\nSong: 'Back Beat Rhythm,' by Los Blancos (20:38)\r\n\r\n\r\nRhythm as a social skill. Howard gangsta-raps the introduction to Beowulf (24:52)\r\n\r\n\r\nMusic courtesy of GarageBand.com\r\n\r\n\r\nTheme music by Kick the Cat\r\n\r\n\r\ntime: 28:48\r\nsize: 13.2 Mb\r\n\r\n\r\nrating: PG (Oops! We just discovered that our first song has a rude word for 'poop' in it--twice! Otherwise this is an innocuous show this week.)\r\n\r\n\r\nCategories: language, linguistics\r\n","author_name":"The Word Nerds Archive","author_url":"http:\/\/thewordnerds.org","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/1421842\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/1421842"}
