Millions of Americans speak English, so why do we all sound so different? And what might accents of the future sound like? This hour, we explore the past, present, and future of regional accents–from Carter to Colin.

Sorti le 20 mai en Belgique, le documentaire Métisses – Cinq femmes contre un crime d'État de Quentin Noirfalisse et Jean-Charles Mbotti Malolorelate le combat judiciaire de cinq femmes métisses contre l'État belge. Nées dans les années 1940 ou 1950 sous administration coloniale dans ce qu'on appelait alors le Congo belge, leur père était Blanc, leur mère était Noire et, pour cette raison, on les a enlevées à leur mère.

Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces SuperPsyched and interviews psychologist, professor, and author Dr. Alan Godwin about his book Ties That Bind: Unraveling Stories That Keep Us in the Dark, focusing on how individuals and societies accept untrue “stories” that merely sound true. Godwin shares growing up in segregated Jackson, Mississippi, where his idyllic childhood coexisted with racial terror across town, illustrating collective normalization of dysfunction. He discusses confirmation bias, motivated reasoning, and how adults construct self-justifying narratives, contrasting Jonathan Rauch's “reality-based community” (evidence, epistemic humility, tolerance for ambiguity) with a “story-based fortress” that discards disconfirming facts and becomes both protection and prison. Using clinical examples like “Katie” and modern cases of relatives drawn into conspiratorial information silos, he emphasizes attachment and identity as drivers of collective deception, argues people are often drawn out by relationships more than information, and concludes that humility is the key skill for better truth-seeking.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:52 Meet Alan Godwin02:42 Growing Up in Jackson05:43 Stories and Lying07:46 Bias and Normalization10:08 Truth Hurts Then Frees12:37 Reality Based Community14:46 Story Based Fortress18:02 Escaping the Fortress20:14 Katie and Personal Healing22:00 Harry Potter Blindness22:50 Accents and Linguistics23:27 From Self Doubt to Uncle Irving24:42 Collective Deception Online26:48 Environment Reveals the Real You28:57 Information Silos and Gaslighting30:58 Attachment and Identity Needs33:57 Sports Fandom as Microcosm36:14 Crowd Seduction and Nazi Rallies38:32 Truth Needs Trusted Relationships40:32 AI Can't Replace Human Connection41:41 Humility as the Ultimate Skill44:35 Closing Thanks and FarewellHelpful Links:Dr. Alan GodwinDr. Alan Godwin LinkedInTies That Blind: Unraveling Stories That Keep Us in the Dark Book

La Commission européenne a invité des responsables talibans à Bruxelles afin de discuter du renvoi d'Afghans condamnés, déboutés du droit d'asile ou en situation irrégulière sur le sol européen. Présentée comme « technique » et sans reconnaissance officielle du régime, cette réunion fait néanmoins polémique, notamment en Suède, pays qui joue un rôle central en coordonnant cette initiative. C'est là-bas, à Stockholm, que notre correspondante a rencontré ceux qui sont terrorisés à l'idée de retourner dans l'Afghanistan des talibans.  Le reportage de notre correspondante Ottilia Férey à Stockholm est à écouter dans son intégralité dans l'émission Accents d'Europe.

In this episode of the Swell Season Surf Podcast, we sit down with Rockaway's own Sean Aiken—founder of Seany Pizza, creator of the upcoming Crown Square Pizza, and host of The Last Train Home podcast. While Sean may be best known these days for his Detroit-style pizza, his story stretches far beyond the kitchen. We talk about growing up in Rockaway, the neighborhood's unique creative energy, and how the peninsula has evolved over the years. Sean reflects on life in Dayton Towers, memories of Rockaway Playland, and the influence of his family on everything from work ethic to music taste. We also dive into Sean's journey through New York's music and nightlife scenes—from learning to DJ at Jam Master Jay's Scratch Academy to managing at Brooklyn Bowl—and how those experiences ultimately led him toward pizza, entrepreneurship, and a new sense of purpose.From apprenticeships at some of New York's most respected pizza institutions to building a business of his own in Rockaway, Sean's story is one of reinvention, persistence, and finding meaning through craft and community.This conversation touches on pizza, music, sobriety, creativity, neighborhood identity, and what it means to build something lasting at the edge of New York City.Grab a slice, crack a soda, and enjoy this conversation with Sean Aiken.Follow Sean on Instagram: @seanypizzaTo listen to Sean's Podcast click the link here: The Last Train HomeThe Swell Season Surf Podcast is recorded by The NewsStand Studio at Rockefeller Center in the heart of Manhattan and is distributed by The Swell Season Surf Radio Network. For more information, you can follow @swellseasonsurfradio on Instagram or go to our website: www.swellseasonsurf.com Music: Artist: The DriftersSong: Under the BoardwalkAlbum: Under the  Boardwalk00:00 Welcome to Rockaway02:41 Pizza Gifts and Plugs04:04 NYC Roots and Neighborhoods05:59 Accents and City Memory08:16 Rockaway Seasons and Family Life12:01 Growing Up Rough Rockaway15:38 Playland Memories17:16 Parents Jobs and Old NYC21:30 Loss and Health Fears22:30 Ocean Air Cats and Wild Dogs24:59 San Francisco Detour25:51 Rockaway Change and Future29:14 Boardwalk Rebuild Debate29:44 Rockaway Community Backbone30:40 City Neglect and Flooding Fixes31:47 Summer Crowds Reality Check32:46 Music Roots and Influences35:49 Brother Returns and Hip Hop Spark41:24 Concerts and DJ Beginnings45:47 Scratch Academy Deep Dive47:38 Beatmatching and DJ Respect50:18 Reggae Nights and Paying Dues56:23 From DJing to Managing57:56 Williamsburg DJ Scene58:35 Black Betty Breakthrough58:52 New Orleans After Katrina59:14 Leap of Faith Mindset01:00:41 From DJ to Tour Manager01:03:08 Van Tour Reality Check01:04:35 Opening Sets and Pride01:05:47 Brooklyn Bowl Training01:08:38 Ego Check and Feathers01:11:25 Humility and Consumerism01:15:40 POS Chaos and Bonding01:16:20 Meeting His Future Wife01:19:55 Sobriety and Partnership01:23:06 Pizza Craft and Standards01:26:04 Pizza Origins and NYC Icons01:27:10 Pizza Inspiration TV01:27:48 Lucali and Paulie Gee01:29:01 Vegan Pie Philosophy01:30:17 Apprentice Origins01:33:04 Starting Over Lessons01:36:19 Crown Pizza Vision01:41:14 Bromate Dough Debate01:43:04 Influencers and Taste01:48:23 Pizza Lightning Round01:52:38 Plugs and FarewellBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/swell-season-surf-radio--3483504/support.

Aux antipodes du « Wir schaffen das » – « Nous y arriverons » – d'Angela Merkel en 2015, le chancelier allemand Friedrich Merz plaide pour un renvoi massif des personnes migrantes dans leurs pays d'origine. Il vise notamment le départ de 800 000 Syriens d'ici 2030. C'est ainsi que l'aéroport de Munich, le 2ᵉ plus grand du pays, devrait s'agrandir avec la construction, dès juin, d'un nouveau terminal réservé aux expulsions. Il sera conçu pour gérer jusqu'à 50 vols charters par jour et expulser 35 000 personnes chaque année. Des chiffres qui feraient de la Bavière, dirigée par la CSU du chancelier, le plus gros pôle d'expulsions du pays.

Une initiative qui a permis de créer un espace dédié à ses collections africaines. Ces 40 000 objets « donnés, volés ou pris de force » à l'apogée de l'Empire britannique y sont exposés. Les conservateurs admettent n'avoir pratiquement aucune trace de leur provenance. À travers l'« Africa Hub », le musée espère collecter les informations manquantes grâce aux contributions du public. Un espace en ligne a également été créé pour que les personnes sur le continent africain ou partout ailleurs dans le monde puissent aider à identifier ces objets afin de mieux les exposer, mais aussi penser à leur restitution. Le reportage de notre correspondante Marie Billon est à retrouver dans son intégralité sur le site de RFI rubrique podcast Accents d'Europe.

Un système bien rodé et colossal de détournement d'aides européennes pour l'agriculture a été découvert en Grèce, il y a plusieurs mois. Une enquête du parquet européen est en cours pour découvrir ce qu'il est advenu de dizaines de millions d'euros de subventions volés par des particuliers, avec la complicité d'employés des services publics et de responsables politiques. Le gouvernement conservateur de Kyriakos Mitsotakis est dans la tourmente : huit responsables de haut rang ont été poussés à la démission et l'opposition réclame des élections anticipées. C'est un scandale politique majeur, mais ceux qui en paient le prix, ce sont les agriculteurs grecs. Le versement des aides européennes, essentielles pour leurs activités, est partiellement bloqué.   Le reportage d'Emmanuelle Steels à Athènes en Grèce est à retrouver dans son intégralité dans notre podcast Accents d'Europe.

 Whether you notice it or not, you speak with an accent. Valerie Fridland, professor of linguistics in the English Department at the University of Nevada, Reno, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss how accents from the Southern drawl to the California Valley Girl came to be, why accents are key to culture, and why, in our mass media world, some are fading away.

Ce jeudi 7 mai 2026, c'est jour d'élections locales au Royaume-Uni, où le parti d'extrême droite Reform UK mise sur une percée et sur une chute des travaillistes et des conservateurs. En Écosse, les électeurs renouvellent le Parlement d'Holyrood. Si le pouvoir d'achat et la santé restent au cœur des préoccupations, le débat sur l'immigration gagne en importance, porté par le parti de Nigel Farage, qui cherche à s'implanter sur le territoire. Pour répondre à ces tensions, certaines associations locales cherchent à créer du lien entre les communautés et les nouveaux arrivants, qu'elles appellent les « nouveaux Écossais », afin de favoriser leur intégration et renforcer la cohésion sociale.

Dr. Adam Dorsay hosts SuperPsyched and interviews University of Nevada, Reno linguistics professor and author Dr. Valerie Fridland about her book "Why We Talk Funny: The Real Story Behind Our Accents" and how accents shape identity. Fridland explains the title stems from how people label unfamiliar speech as “funny,” drawing on her upbringing in the South with French-speaking parents and the stigma and pride tied to Southern speech. She describes how children first learn language rhythms and sounds from parents (even in utero), then around ages four to five shift toward peer influence through “vernacular reorganization,” often retaining small traces of family speech. Fridland outlines how American regional dialects developed from settlement patterns and later cultural inputs, and discusses how comedians and politicians use marked accents to invoke stereotypes and solidarity. She also notes psycholinguistic research on cognitive fluency affecting judgments of trustworthiness, plus links between personality and speech features like fillers, and how familiarity drives perceptions of linguistic beauty.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:28 Why Accents Fascinate Us01:21 Meet Valerie Fridland02:40 Growing Up With Accents06:23 Parents vs Peers10:50 How Kids Shift Accents14:50 Origins of US Dialects17:09 Colonies and Cultural Roots23:11 Melting Pot and Language Loss25:03 Why Accents Sound Funny29:50 Solidarity and Authenticity33:15 Accent Bias and Fluency38:10 Closing Thanks and SubscribeHelpful Links:Valerie Fridland, PhDWhy We Talk Funny: The Real Story Behind Our Accents Book

Understanding the accent you didn't know you had.Whether communicating in our mother tongue or practicing a new language, we all speak with an accent. But that's not all, says Valerie Fridland — we hear with an accent as well.Fridland is a professor of sociolinguistics at the University of Nevada, Reno, and author of Why We Talk Funny: The Real Story Behind Our Accents. According to her, we don't just sound a certain way, we hear a certain way too, affecting how we understand others. “We're hearing with an accent — a bias shaped by our own language and experience,” she says. But instead of expecting others' communication to fit our preconceptions, Fridland says to meet people halfway. “If we want to make communication successful, it's not just their job as a speaker, it's my job as a listener.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Fridland and host Matt Abrahams discuss how empathetic listening opens the door to understanding. Whether you're communicating in a context of mutual intelligibility or attempting to bridge cultural and linguistic divides, Fridland's insights show how connection is a collaboration — shaped by accents on both sides of the conversation.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Valerie FridlandValerie's Book: Why We Talk FunnyEp.91 Um, Like, So: How Filler Words Can Create More Connected, Effective Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:29) - The Role of Filled Pauses (04:53) - When Fillers Become a Problem (06:15) - Why We Don't Hear Our Own Accent (07:40) - Language Rhythm & Intonation (12:30) - Listening with an Accent (17:28) - The Final Three Questions (23:34) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

1179. This week, we talk to Valerie Fridland, a linguist and professor who grew up in Memphis surrounded by Southern accents and now researches the history and social power of speech. We look at her new book, "Why We Talk Funny: The Real Story Behind Our Accents," which explores the history of how American speech developed and how colonial settlement patterns shaped regional identities. Then we look at the decline of regional accents, the mechanics of speech sounds like "L" and "R," and the psychological impact of accent bias.Get Valerie's new book, "Why We Talk Funny: The Real Story Behind Our Accents."More from Valerie at valeriefridland.com

Sarah got an invite to attend the Enhanced Games (the competitive sports where anything goes in terms of performance enhancement). We find out how a crime was recently solved thanks to the nerdy expertise of a botanist. We hear why the Boston and Southern accents might become obsolete, and we're pretty sad about it. We lament the shallow nature of some online culture, and basically we want to bring back Peruvian bowler hats.00:00 - Reflecting on Our 1000th Episode Party & Interstellar01:59 - How the Linda/Louise Prank Taught Me About Love05:39 - Heartfelt Fan Gifts and Sarah's Lost Phone Adventure10:47 - Scientists Finally Map the Clitoris, 30 Years After Penis17:38 - Sarah Gets an Invitation to the Enhanced Games in Vegas23:27 - Why We Rebrand Simple Pleasures Like Forest Bathing27:38 - The Key to Restorative Sleep: Vivid, Immersive Dreams35:33 - How a Botanist Used Moss to Solve a Criminal Case39:30 - The Disappearing Boston Accent and a Matthew McConaughey Encounter 50:01 - Lamenting Homogenized Culture and Peruvian Bowler Hats54:08 - Can Robot Restaurants Replicate the 'Breath of the Wok'?58:23 - Supporting the Show and Leaving a Five-Star ReviewBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get $10 off your first month's subscription and free shipping when you visit https://nutrafol.com and enter promo code BRAINCANDYHead to https://cozyearth.com and use my code BRAINCANDY for an exclusive 20% off.TDM-RESERVATION: 1.
