Stephen Fry has tweeted about the magazine to his >10 million followers: https://twitter.com/stephenfry/status/452380574268014592

The magazine's linguistic consultant is David Crystal, one of Britain's most famous linguists, see his Wikipedia article.

As far as I know it is the only magazine with a linguistics focus in the UK. Latikaakital (talk) 20:52, 22 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Chris Legard did an interview with the editors for Radio 4. The resulting program treated the magazine as well as its Biblical namesake. Babel, Word of Mouth. Cnilep (talk) 01:49, 23 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
