Accent Accidents

On today’s episode we are talking about how we talk to our furry friends. If you have a fur baby and talk to them in a fun baby voice you’re not alone. We talk about why we humans do this and why our animals respond to it. Hannah shows off her Scottish accent in this week’s What’s this Word. And we have a phone number where you can text and call us! Listen to get the digits.

We’re back with a brand new season! While we might be a little rusty, we’ve got a great episode for you. Evan has big news! Hannah’s What’s the Word mostly stumps Anna and Evan. Plus we dive into the viral TikTok that’s trying to take down Billie Eilish [https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/why-billie-eilish-getting-cancelled-singer-faces-severe-backlash-alleged-racist-video-mocking-asian-accents-goes-viral] because of a supposed racist accent.

In this episode we talk to Mario Orallo about the ups and downs of improv and how his theater, Jet City Improv [https://www.jetcityimprov.org/], has adapted live performances online. We also play a few improv games with him, much to Hannah's chagrine.

It's the Hannah episode! We find out how much she hates spiders and why magpies are the devil. Hannah also tries her hand at a Bogan accent which sounds *ahem * amazing. Plus how Australian is Hannah? Not much, but she does like dead horse.

We talk to speech pathologist, Genevieve Graham and learn what speech pathologists do plus tackle the common misconceptions of their roles. Genevieve discusses her hurdles dealing with Covid and working with children on the spectrum. In What’s the Word we find out that Hannah is sometimes "up and down like a bride’s nighty". Yikes!
