You may have been a "freelancer," or hired one, at some point in your work life, but have you ever wondered how the term originated?
Freelancer is one of 80 words and phrases Colette Kinsella turned into wacky, yet edifying, one-minute radio stories about some of the common idioms in our vocabulary. Kinsella's co-conspirator in the Language Bites! series was sound designer and engineer Lochlainn Harte.
