Had a binge listen to vocal fries podcast episodes yesterday, including this one 🙌🏼

I dream of having Kristen Schaal on @vocalfriespod.bsky.social.

This was a really engaging, interesting conversation and I thoroughly enjoyed being on the podcast. If you want to know why some people enjoy hating Richard Gere and what that has to do with language oppression, have a listen.

NEW VOCAL FRIES EPISODE!! So fun getting to finally jump on the line with the podcast I've been following for a couple years now! This was myself and Dr. Ayala Fader talking DLP! Podbean: www.podbean.com/podcast-deta... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/6OdA... And, ALL the other places too!

1000 people aged 18+ (52% women and 48% men) were asked by the company PrePly: “What is the Italian dialect you find most annoying?” I explain the reasons for this widespread language hatred in a forthcoming episode of @vocalfriespod.bsky.social Full survey data: preply.com/it/blog/sond...

We were in the top 5% Of podcasts this year! Thank you all for making this happen!

Last Sunday 1st of December, I discussed the apartheid suffered by the speakers of Neapolitan with Dr Carrie Gillon and Dr Megan Figueroa, the creators and hosts of The Vocal Fries Pod – one of the most popular and inspiring podcasts on language discrimination. www.vocalfriespod.com

Being a linguist is inherently political. We know that all language is equal and that being treated differently because of your languaging has to do with the body you inhabit and not the language itself. #linguistics #language

Some holiday cheer from Megan’s Christmas tree 🎄🍟
