The forty-fourth episode of Semantic Reactions, the official podcast of the Institute of General Semantics, is now available for your listening pleasure. Our April 2026 podcast features author, educator, and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sarah L. Kaufman. As the Washington Post’s chief dance critic, she wrote about the arts, entertainment, and society for 27 years. In conversation with IGS President Lance Strate, she discusses her career as a journalist and writer, dance as a form of expression, the concept of grace, and the art of writing, and her brand new book entitled, Verb Your Enthusiasm: How to Master the Art of the Verb and Transform Your Writing.
