That Word Chat: Live | Mark Allen, Heather Saunders

That Word Chat is a Zoom-based chat show for lovers of all things lexical, started in March 2020 when the pandemic kept us from getting together in person. Host Mark Allen and Producer Heather Saunders have since welcomed more than 50 stars in the world of words. Now, That Word Chat is coming live to the ACES conference. Same one-hour format, same theme music, same chance for audience members to ask questions of our special guest.
