Hi all!
It’s been a minute! Turns out we’ve gone on a longer hiatus than expected – thanks for being patient with us! And don’t worry, we are gearing up to come back. We just had a few personal things (all good news, don’t worry!) that kept us away longer than we intended.
In the meantime, keep watching and we will be back as soon as we can! We miss you all and can’t wait to see you again on Zoom!

Hey all!
There will be no new video this week as the Word by Word team is off on vacation! But we wanted to wish you all happy holidays -- and send a big THANK YOU for your generosity during this year's WGA strike. Your contributions have helped make the holidays a little easier for all of our hardworking colleagues and peers. We appreciate you and we can't wait to get back to the show in the new year!
All the best,
Ed, Megan, Claire, Elisa and the WBW team

Many of you have been asking, "how can I watch past episodes of Word by Word?!" We finally have an answer for you!
Subscribe to our Patreon!
We will be releasing the video recordings of each show to our WBW Supporter and WBW Patron subscribers, in order to raise even more funds for the Entertainment Community Fund, the Hollywood Support Staff Relief Fund, and the Union Solidarity Coalition. 100% of proceeds from the subscriptions will be donated to and distributed evenly amongst these three funds!
We will be releasing episodes (one a week!) on Wednesdays starting today, September 27 -- but not necessarily in the order we recorded them. Videos will only be available to our WBW Supporter and WBW Patron patrons (along with other perks!) so please take a look at our tiers and subscribe today!
A few important things to note:
Thanks for your continuing support!
