''The Way We Talk Now: Commentaries on Language and Culture from NPR's Fresh Air'' is a collection of essays by Geoffrey Nunberg about the effect of language on contemporary culture.

Nunberg looks at modern culture through the lens of language, using his expertise as a linguist to highlight the subtle ways in which language influences society. The essays are organized by subject.
== The Passing Scene ==
In this section Nunberg focuses on language as a sign of generational change. Beginning with a personal anecdote of his struggles with his wife to find an appropriate name for their new baby daughter, he goes on to discuss a variety of topics, such as the increasing influence of conversational tics like "you know," the legacy of Yiddish words in American English, the question of personal favorite words, the effect that television shows have on the language, and the use of wordplay in country music.
