In 2010 Garfield announced that he would stop writing the "AdReview" column after 25 years.〔Bob Garfield, ("Garfield Says Adieu, AdReview" ), ''Advertising Age'', April 5, 2010.〕 Currently, he is a bi-weekly columnist for both the Guardian and MediaPost, writing on the subjects of media and marketing. He also appears in a weekly podcast with Mike Vuolo called "Lexicon Valley" on ''Slate'' about the English language. On January 2, 2013, Slate posted a Lexicon Valley podcast on "creaky voice" in young females, which Garfield criticized in emphatic terms. The episode dramatically increased the number of downloads over previous subjects—by a factor of ten—becoming the most-listened-to episode of the series, and brought strong disapproval on Garfield from some sources. Lexicon Valley went on hiatus after the January 27 podcast, but episodes resumed on June 9. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bob Garfield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
