Are we laughing at actors/actresses failing at accents? Yup. Ranking the 5 most appalling attempts at accents in Hollywood .

We're taking a little time off for the summer, and while we're gone, we're re-releasing some of our favorite shows. This week, we're bringing you our most popular episode of all time – How to talk like a Rhode Islander. Back in 2022, we asked dialect coach Thom Jones to show us how he teaches Hollywood stars to talk like Rhode Islanders. He even gave our producer a little lesson.

In this week's Talking Travel, Rory talks about how travel changes how we speak – does it matter where we go, does learning a new language make us lose our accent and how do we subconsciously change our speech to match those around us?

Après un siècle de silence et des années de combat, les exhumations ont commencé sur le site d'une de ces institutions où des milliers d'enfants sont morts et ont été enterrés en secret. Le lourd secret de foyers catholiques irlandais C'est un épisode sinistre de l'histoire de la société irlandaise : pendant des décennies après l'indépendance du pays, les femmes et jeunes adolescentes tombées enceintes hors mariage étaient pour la plupart internées de force dans des institutions religieuses. Cette pratique a duré des années 1920 aux années 60 principalement, mais elle existait encore dans les années 90. Parmi les enfants qui sont nés dans ces institutions, plusieurs milliers n'ont pas survécu et ont été enterrés en secret - un chiffre qui défie l'entendement. Mais aujourd'hui après une longue bataille pour se faire entendre, des familles vont enfin pouvoir faire leur deuil. Dans l'ouest du Pays à Tuam, sur le site de l'un de ces foyers, les exhumations ont débuté. C'est un reportage de Clémence Pénard.    En Hongrie, la corruption fait recette (aussi) en images Les documentaires sur la corruption du régime de Viktor Orban comptent dans le pays plus de spectateurs que les « blockbusters », les films grand public ! Nous avions parlé dans Accents d'Europe de Dynastia, qui raconte comment Viktor Orban, sa famille et son clan ont pillé l'argent public, un film qui a comptabilisé 3 800 000 vues sur internet et 4 millions de spectateurs, ce qui est énorme. Aujourd'hui, un deuxième documentaire est sorti, et va peut-être battre les records. Les explications à Budapest de Florence La Bruyère.   La chronique musique de Vincent Théval :  GRÓA  Eldingar í prag  (Islande).   Dans l'air du temps : le voyage solo au féminin Elles étaient déjà 138 millions en 2017 selon l'Organisation mondiale du tourisme - un chiffre qui avait triplé en trois ans : les femmes qui choisissent de voyager seules.

Oliver's monologue on a Monday

Hey there, it's Trey Kennedy, joined by Jake, my wife Katie, and Derek behind the cameras for a lively Correct Opinions episode. So, I found this weird bug bite, and my dermatologist mentioned Lyme disease, which sent me down a Google rabbit hole, panicking about ticks. Katie and Jake, of course, had a field day teasing me about it. Somehow Katie mixes up Spider-Man with “Superman Spider.” Jake correctly points out how British and Australian singers fake their accents.  Oh, and a huge thank you for supporting my Basic Cellars wine!

Des milliers de personnes ont entamé mardi une longue marche à travers la forêt bosnienne pour mettre leurs pas dans ceux qui ont fui le massacre de Srebrenica, il y a trente ans. Le 11 juillet 1995, 8 000 hommes ont été massacrés par des militaires serbes dirigés par le général Ratko Mladic. Un crime qualifié de génocide par la justice internationale. Mais en Bosnie, la mémoire reste divisée entre les familles des victimes qui enterrent toujours les restes de leurs morts, et les nationalistes serbes qui refusent le terme de génocide, et estiment avoir été, eux aussi, victimes de la guerre des Balkans.  Un reportage à retrouver dans son intégralité dans Accents d'Europe.   À lire aussiÀ Srebrenica, à l'ombre du génocide, l'impossible réconciliation

En Pologne, l'élection du national-conservateur Karol Nawrocki à la tête de l'État a douché les espoirs des militantes féministes, qui ont vu s'envoler toute possibilité de progrès sur la question de l'avortement dans le pays pour les cinq prochaines années. Depuis 2020, il n'est possible d'avorter que si la grossesse résulte d'un viol ou d'un inceste, ou si elle met la vie de la mère en danger. Si le nouveau président a martelé qu'il ne ratifierait pas de loi visant à libéraliser l'accès à l'IVG, les militantes n'ont pas pour autant l'intention d'interrompre leurs activités. Rencontre avec ces militantes dans le premier centre pour avortement, ouvert il y a quelques mois. Le reportage de notre correspondant à Varsovie dans le centre Dream team abortion est à écouter dans son intégralité sur le site de RFI dans Accents d'Europe.

Ces drones voiliers autonomes ont pour mission de surveiller les fonds marins et le trafic maritime en mer Baltique, point chaud de géopolitique européenne.

Come for the Skaven, stay because you failed your bribery check and now you're wanted for heresy. Want to Join the Adventure? If you're craving chaos, corruption, and career advancement (in-game, of course), join Ash Ely's West Marches campaign on StartPlaying.games. Explore the treacherous roads, clash blades with the forces of corruption, and roll the bones in the grimdark world of Warhammer Fantasy. Whether you're a grizzled veteran or fresh meat for the dice gods, Ash has a seat at the table for you. Show Notes: In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, the hosts venture deeper into the grim and perilous world of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. The conversation centers on how chance, mechanics, and narrative intertwine to create memorable and brutal gaming experiences. From unlucky dice rolls to warpstone corruption, the hosts unpack the intricate systems that shape character arcs, decision-making, and party dynamics. The discussion kicks off with a recap of the latest Elite Quest and its far-reaching consequences. As the players navigate dangerous terrain, social encounters, and the ever-present threat of death, they reflect on how randomness and risk shape both success and failure in meaningful ways. The hosts also explore the psychological toll of bad luck, the math behind randomness, and the emotional highs of roleplaying through adversity. Tying all of it together is a breakdown of Warhammer's signature mechanics: deadly combat, the role of Fate and Fortune, bribery and sin, and how religion and corruption guide a character's evolution. The conversation reveals how complex mechanics—when well understood—enhance immersion and storytelling at the table. Key Takeaways: The Elite Quest showcases how player decisions carry lasting consequences in Warhammer Fantasy. Luck isn't just flavor—it's a central mechanic that can define a character's fate. Players experience randomness differently depending on how dice rolls or generators are used, which can affect perceptions of fairness. Failure often leads to stronger roleplaying opportunities than success. Warhammer's social systems and bribery mechanics add tension and strategy to every interaction. Combat is brutally realistic, rewarding planning and punishing recklessness. Warpstone and the threat of corruption introduce moral and mechanical complications. Degrees of success and failure enrich the storytelling process by adding nuance to outcomes. Interacting with NPCs meaningfully influences player choices and world development. Understanding the game's mechanics, especially around risk management, is essential to enjoyable play. The Fate and Fortune system provides a safety net, but strategic use is crucial. Character Talents can drive unique and hilarious roleplay decisions. Religion, sin points, and moral consequences give depth to character arcs. Career advancement encourages players to evolve their characters narratively and mechanically. The Skaven hierarchy is complex and important to gameplay and setting immersion. Warhammer's economic systems may be intentionally frustrating to reflect the setting's grim realism. Accents and cultural misunderstandings (in-character) can lead to entertaining and awkward situations. A strong sense of gaming community adds to the emotional impact of each session.

Plastic is killing the planet — or so we've been told. In this episode, Scott Groves sits down with Dr. Chris DeArmitt — the scientist behind The Plastics Paradox — to dismantle myths we've been fed for decades. From the “floating island” that doesn't exist, to the lie that you're eating a credit card of plastic every week, Chris backs every claim with real data — 5,000 studies deep. This is the truth about bags, bottles, microplastics panic, and why billionaires, NGOs, and headlines keep feeding the fear. If you think you know the truth about plastic, this episode will challenge everything.Chapters: 00:00:00 - Welcome and Bold Kickoff00:00:56 - Accents, Upbringing, and Humor00:02:54 - Meet the Myth-Buster: Chris DeArmitt00:03:39 - Kicking Open the Plastic Controversy00:05:10 - How a Scientist Fell for Plastics00:06:14 - What Really Happens When Plastic Breaks Down00:11:09 - The Real Lifecycle Impact Nobody Tells You00:21:02 - Microplastics Panic: Fact vs Fiction00:24:41 - The Fake Floating Island Exposed00:33:02 - Why Plastic Waste Is a People Problem00:37:13 - The Hidden Materials in Your Home00:37:49 - Surprising Praise for the Plastic We Hate00:39:29 - Burying the Biggest Plastic Myths00:40:42 - Are Alternatives Worse for the Planet?00:45:58 - Microplastics: The Truth and the Hype00:58:54 - What's Actually Threatening Our Health?01:08:01 - Why Science and Evidence Matter01:10:20 - Final Thoughts and Real TakeawaysLinks and Resources:Phantom PlasticsFree Book — Shattering the Plastics IllusionConnect with Dr. Chris DeArmitt on LinkedIn------------This podcast is paid for and brought to you by.... by me, Scott Groves :-) Because I think these kind of long form conversations are valuable, I pay for 100% of the production of this show out of my pocket.

La consommation de drogue dure est en augmentation constante un peu partout en Europe, et elle entraîne une montée des problèmes sociaux liés aux narcotrafics. Pour atteindre l'Europe, la cocaïne est souvent cachée dans les containers d'engrais agricoles, de cafés, ou de bananes. Ces containers arrivent dans les ports du continent : Anvers, Rotterdam, Bilbao… C'est par exemple le cas de celui de Durrës, en Albanie. On retrouve notre correspondant dans la région, Louis Seiller, juste devant l'entrée du principal port de ce petit pays méditerranéen de deux millions et demi d'habitants. Un reportage à retrouver dans son intégralité dans Accents d'Europe.   À lire aussiEn Amérique latine, la Triple frontière, la route sud de la cocaïne vers l'Europe

Pour ce sommet de l'Otan en tous points historique, Accents d'Europe se penche sur les différentes initiatives prises sur le continent pour répondre à la nouvelle demande de Donald Trump : dépenser plus dans la défense. L'objectif à atteindre est chiffré : 5% du PIB. Le maintien du parapluie américain est à ce prix... La Bundeswehr essaie de recruter des soldats L'Allemagne a pour sa part opéré une véritable révolution, son fameux Zeitenwende, son changement d'époque. Des sommes colossales sont désormais dédiées à la défense. Un fonds de 100 milliards d'euros a été créé... Mais ce n'est pas tout. L'armée n'est plus un tabou et l'on assiste à un véritable changement de mentalité avec la Bundeswehr qui vient faire sa promotion auprès du public... car si l'argent est bien là, il manque beaucoup d'hommes et de femmes dans les rangs de l'armée. Il faut trouver de nouvelles recrues. Reportage à Berlin signé Delphine Nerbollier.     L'Espagne refuse de dépenser autant pour la défense Et la situation est bien différente en Espagne qui se démarque en refusant de consacrer 5% de son produit intérieur brut à la défense. Le chef du gouvernement Pedro Sanchez a envoyé un courrier la semaine dernière au secrétaire général de l'Alliance atlantique Mark Rutte pour lui faire part de cette décision, que celui-ci ne le voit pas d'un bon œil...  À Madrid, Diane Cambon.     Les femmes dans des groupes de défense dans les pays baltes Des soldats prêts à défendre les frontières mais aussi les valeurs européennes, avec en arrière-plan la menace russe... C'est exactement la situation dans les pays baltes, qui ont rejoint l'alliance il y a un peu plus de 20 ans au moment où ils rejoignaient aussi l'Union européenne. On parle de soldats mais aussi beaucoup de soldates... car le concept de défense est en Lituanie et en Estonie très imbriqué dans la société civiles, avec des groupes de défense liés à l'armée où les femmes tiennent des rôles-clé. C'est le reportage de notre correspondante dans la région Marielle Vitureau.     Russie et Chine: une même détestation de l'Otan Et cet élargissement de l'Otan aux pays de l'ancien bloc soviétique est régulièrement vilipendé par le président russe Vladimir Poutine qui dénonce un encerclement. Dans son narratif, l'invasion de l'Ukraine est d'ailleurs brandie comme la réponse à une possible adhésion de l'Ukraine à l'Otan qui n'a toujours pas eu lieu. Aujourd'hui, le Kremlin a dénoncé «une militarisation effrénée de l'OTAN».   Sylvie Bermann a été diplomate à Moscou et Pékin, et publie aux éditions Tallandier : L'ours et le dragon Russie Chine, histoire d'une amitié sans limites ?   Dans ce nouvel ordre mondial, bien loin des organisations multilatérales qui sont nées après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, peut-on dire que Pékin et Moscou partagent cette même détestation des instances que sont l'Onu et l'Otan ?

En Italie, la Sicile emboîte le pas à la Calabre dans sa lutte contre la criminalité organisée. Le Parlement régional de la plus grande île italienne, berceau de Cosa Nostra, a voté à la fin du mois de mai une loi intitulée « Libres de choisir » qui étend le programme à toute la région après une expérience pilote à Catane. Ce programme a été mis sur pied par le juge pour enfants Roberto Di Bella et permet aux mineurs issus de familles mafieuses de faire l'expérience d'une nouvelle vie loin de leur famille et/ou de leur région d'origine. Car le destin des enfants qui grandissent avec les règles de la criminalité organisée comme seuls repères est souvent scellé d'avance. Le collaborateur de justice Luigi Bonaventura le sait. Ancien chef de clan de la 'Ndrangheta, la mafia calabraise, il s'engage aujourd'hui auprès des jeunes pour leur éviter une vie écrite d'avance par leurs parents. Cécile Debarge l'a rencontré.  Un reportage à retrouver en intégralité dans Accents d'Europe.

Selon une enquête menée par Preply auprès de 1 500 Français, les perceptions des accents régionaux révèlent une hiérarchie assez marquée, influencée autant par des considérations esthétiques que par des stéréotypes culturels profondément ancrés.L'accent du Sud (notamment celui de Marseille ou de la Provence) est le grand favori : 42 % des sondés déclarent l'apprécier. Cet accent est généralement perçu comme chaleureux, chantant, expressif — il évoque le soleil, la convivialité, l'humour, voire la générosité. En deuxième position, l'accent basque est également très bien vu (27 %), sans doute en raison de son caractère affirmé, exotique et de son lien avec une culture locale forte et fière.À l'inverse, certains accents régionaux recueillent très peu d'adhésion. L'accent alsacien et l'accent breton ne séduisent que 8 % des répondants. L'accent normand et l'accent lyonnais arrivent en queue de classement avec seulement 6 % de votes favorables. Ces faibles scores s'expliquent par plusieurs facteurs.D'abord, la musicalité perçue joue un rôle : les accents jugés "secs", "plats" ou "peu mélodieux" séduisent moins. L'accent alsacien, influencé par des sonorités germaniques, peut être ressenti comme plus "dur", plus rigide. L'accent lyonnais, plus discret et peu marqué, est souvent jugé "neutre" ou "sans charme". Le normand et le breton sont associés à des régions rurales, pluvieuses, et parfois à une image moins dynamique ou moins valorisée.Ensuite, il faut noter l'importance de la dimension sociale et culturelle. Certains accents, comme celui du Sud, véhiculent une image positive liée à la chaleur humaine, à l'humour et à la détente. D'autres, comme le parisien, sont associés à la norme linguistique nationale. Il n'est pas massivement aimé (10 %), mais il bénéficie d'un prestige implicite, notamment dans les sphères professionnelles, éducatives ou médiatiques.Ces préférences révèlent aussi la persistance d'une forme de glottophobie : une discrimination fondée sur la manière de parler. Dans la société française, la centralisation historique autour de Paris et l'importance accordée au français "standard" ont contribué à dévaloriser les accents régionaux pendant des décennies. Même si la fierté locale et l'identité culturelle régionale progressent, les préjugés restent forts, surtout envers les parlers considérés comme "ruraux", "difficiles à comprendre" ou "moins prestigieux".En résumé, les accents les plus aimés en France sont ceux qui évoquent la chaleur, l'authenticité et la joie de vivre. Les moins aimés, eux, souffrent souvent d'une faible visibilité médiatique, d'une connotation austère ou d'un manque de reconnaissance culturelle. Cette hiérarchie linguistique en dit long sur les rapports que les Français entretiennent avec leur propre diversité. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

From snakes escaping in restaurants to faking British accents and pretending to be a pilot, people are sharing their wildest first date fails—moments where they tried a little too hard to impress and it all went sideways. One listener even dove into a pond to save what turned out to be fake ducklings. Another got caught mid-bite into a bacon cheeseburger while claiming to be vegan. This trending moment is all about the chaos, the comedy, and the cringe of first impressions gone wrong.
