For this show, we had some fun with the passive voice. A lot of people have this idea that passive voice is being used every time there’s some kind of evasion or abdication of responsibility. It’s true that this is one thing passive voice does, but it’s not the only thing it does, and there are other ways to do it. So this podcast tells you how to spot it once and for all. Very educational.
And this show marks the return of Ben Ainslie! He’s been in earlier episodes, and I always enjoy a talk with him. We’re muy simpático. Maybe he’ll return.
I forgot to say: the date of Passive Voice Day was determined by shaunm on Shaun’s Blog. I left him out, which is actually kind of fitting since, hey, you can do that in passive voice.
