New recordings from Wikimedia Commons publish promptly. Earlier recordings are released in a roughly shuffled order, paced to average about thirty minutes of listening per day. A long recording may therefore be followed by one or more quiet days. Each episode credits its reader and links to the original recording, the article as recorded, and the current article.

"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is a sentence that is grammatically correct in English that is often presented as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated linguistic constructs through lexical ambiguity. It has been discussed in literature in various forms since 1967, when it appeared in Dmitri Borgmann's Beyond Language: Adventures in Word and Thought. A semantically equivalent form preserving the original word order is: "Buffalonian bison [whom other] Buffalonian bison bully [also] bully Buffalonian bison."
