ACROSS ACOUSTICS New! In this episode, we talk to @MtwoBtwo (@UCSPPLab) and @perj44 (@UA_AS), about why instructors should use a variety of voices in the classroom, and how to talk about other ways of speaking when one feels ill-equipped to do so: buzzsprout.com/1537384/15085….

One reason I love talking about this stuff is that I get to promote kindness in the world. I’m so lucky to do this job.

I also forgot that cheering for the Phillies means I also booked a ticket for the Craig Kimbrel rollercoaster of nausea and anxiety, which I have lots of familiarity with as a Red Sox and Cubs fan.

I’ve Got Two Chickens to Paralyze: A celebration of mondegreens, malapropisms, and more

This hour, we look at mis-speaks, mis-hearings and mis-understandings, like malapropisms, mondegreens, eggcorns, and spoonerisms. What they can tell us about English and how our brains process...

I’ve never laughed so hard at baseball as I did seeing Morel taking his shirt off when Canario hit a grand slam.
