We tend to understand and acknowledge that what we say matters. But I find an increasing lack of attention to how we say things. And yet we make conscious and unconscious judgments about people regarding how they are talking, that sometimes become more important than whatever it is they might actually be saying. This is a focus on being aware of our own speech patterns and habits and how they may be hampering our desire to really connect with others. My guest is Valerie Fridland, professor of linguistics in the English Department at the University of Nevada, Reno. As a sociolinguist, Valerie studies how language interacts with society and examines how factors like geography, social class, age, gender, and ethnicity shape accents, vocabulary, and grammar with a focus on how the way we speak impacts the way we think about and talk to one another. Valerie is the author of Like, Literally, Dude: Arguing for the Good in Bad English, and she writes a popular language blog on Psychology Today called "Language in the Wild.” Her new book is Why We Talk Funny: The Real Story Behind our Accents. valeriefridland.com Sign up for your $1/month trial period at shopify.com/kevin Go to shipstation.com and use code KEVIN to start your free trial.

The Pan South African Language Board, PanSALB has voiced strong concern over reports of people facing discrimination based on the languages they speak during ongoing anti-immigration protests. PanSALB stresses that while illegal immigration needs addressing, no one should be targeted or suspected simply because of their accent or mother tongue. CEO Dr. Keaobaka Seshoka pointed out that in Africa, language often crosses borders and cannot reliably indicate nationality. She joins us on the line to elaborate further on her sentiments Elvis Presslin Spoke to The Pan South African Language Board, PanSALB CEO Dr. Keaobaka Seshoka

Have you ever pushed on a door that was supposed to be pulled—or pulled when you should have pushed? It feels embarrassing, but don't blame yourself. It turns out the problem usually isn't you. It's the door. https://uxdesign.cc/intro-to-ux-the-norman-door-61f8120b6086 Everyone has an accent—even if they don't think they do. The way you speak tells a story about where you've been, who influenced you, and sometimes even how other people perceive you before you've said more than a few words. Why do accents develop? Why are they so difficult to lose? And do people with accents realize they have one, or do they think everyone else sounds different? Erik Singer, one of Hollywood's leading dialect coaches, explains the fascinating science, history, and psychology behind the way we speak. He has analyzed accents from around the world for millions of viewers online (https://www.eriksinger.com/) and is author of the forthcoming book The Case of the Disappearing R. We all replay conversations in our heads. We rethink decisions, relive embarrassing moments, and imagine what we should have said or done differently. It feels productive—as if we're solving a problem. But more often than not, we're simply trapped in a mental loop called rumination. Far from helping, rumination can fuel anxiety, depression, stress, and self-doubt while making it harder to move forward. Science journalist Donna Jackson Nakazawa explains why our brains get caught in these loops, why they're so difficult to break, and what actually works to quiet an overactive mind. She is author of Mind Drama: The Science of Rumination and How to Outwit Your Inner Defeatist (https://amzn.to/4vKWiNs). You've probably heard the advice that couples who want happier relationships should simply have sex more often. It sounds logical—but research suggests the relationship between sex and happiness may work very differently than most people assume. https://www.cmu.edu/news/stories/archives/2015/may/more-sex-does-not-lead-to-happiness.html PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAYFAIR: Ready to upgrade your home for way less?

In this episode, Becky sits down with award-winning writer, filmmaker, and solo performer Skylar Lyralen Kaye (fae/they). We dive deep into the complex creative process behind their recently released non-binary memoir, Bachelorx. The audiobook is a feat of vocal storytelling, featuring 47 distinct characters—including 18 of Skylar's own inner voices. Skylar shares fascinating insights into the technical and emotional challenges of narration, including: Mastering Accents: How they utilized mimicry and digital tools to tackle everything from Puerto Rican to Russian-British accents. The Recording Journey: Moving from a DIY apartment setup to professional studios in Portugal and the importance of vocal pacing. Acting Techniques: Applying the Meisner technique and "Internal Family Systems" to bring authenticity to personal, often painful, memories. The Power of Humor: Using comedy as a survival muscle to navigate the heavy themes of a 35-year marriage and the vulnerability of dating in mid-life. Whether you are an author considering narrating your own memoir or a listener interested in the artistry of voice performance, this episode offers a profound look at how we use art to process trauma, find compassion, and reconnect with ourselves.

C'est un ancien volcan qui pourrait redessiner l'avenir de l'Europe. Dans le sud de la Norvège se trouve le plus grand gisement de terres rares jamais découvert sur le continent. Ces métaux sont indispensables à la fabrication des voitures électriques, des éoliennes, des smartphones ou encore des équipements militaires. Un enjeu devenu stratégique pour notre économie comme pour notre souveraineté, alors que leur production est aujourd'hui largement dominée par la Chine. C'est la compagnie minière norvégienne Rare Earths Norway qui dispose du permis d'extraction.

En Moldavie, les arnaques téléphoniques prennent une ampleur inédite. Majoritairement menées depuis l'étranger, ces fraudes ont causé un préjudice de plus de 8 millions d'euros depuis le début de l'année. Les personnes âgées, souvent moins familières des nouvelles technologies, figurent parmi les principales cibles des escrocs. Dans certains cas, la police a rapporté des pertes individuelles pouvant atteindre près de 50 000 euros. Selon les autorités moldaves, ces opérations pourraient être, au moins en partie, orchestrées depuis la Russie afin de miner la confiance de la population dans les institutions et de déstabiliser le pays.  Un reportage de notre correspondante à Chisinau à retrouver dans la longueur dans Accents d'Europe.

L'Allemagne accueille depuis une dizaine d'années des centaines de milliers de migrants, l'immense majorité est prise en charge dans un premier temps dans des foyers et ils sont répartis à travers tout le pays. Mais chaque année, environ 2 500 personnes bénéficient d'un « asile religieux » et sont hébergées par des églises catholiques et protestantes parce qu'elles sont particulièrement vulnérables.  De notre correspondant à Berlin, Antoine – qui a préféré ne pas donner son vrai nom – fait visiter l'appartement dans la paroisse de l'église protestante de Forst, dans le Brandebourg, où il est hébergé. Le jeune Camerounais partage cet appartement de trois pièces avec un Tchadien. Antoine est arrivé à la rentrée dernière en Allemagne. « Je viens du Cameroun, de Douala précisément. J'ai quitté le Cameroun parce que je suis homosexuel et l'homosexualité au Cameroun est très mal vue, témoigne-t-il, donc c'était très difficile. » Antoine est arrivé en Europe via la Roumanie. L'Allemagne avait six mois, conformément aux règles de Dublin, pour le renvoyer dans ce pays par lequel il est entré dans l'Union européenne. On a proposé au jeune homme de bénéficier du « Kirchenasyl », de l'asile religieux : une paroisse décide d'héberger un migrant dans une situation difficile pour le protéger. « La situation juridique est claire : on doit protéger les êtres humains, souligne Simon Klaas, le pasteur à Forst qui a accueilli Antoine. Ils ont le droit à l'asile politique. Une institution comme l'Église a le devoir de défendre ce droit. » À écouter dans Accents d'EuropeImmigration irrégulière: vers des expulsions massives en Allemagne et les Talibans à Bruxelles L'Église remplace l'État Cet asile religieux existe depuis une quarantaine d'années. Les autorités sont au courant, les paroisses doivent expliquer pourquoi les personnes accueillies sont particulièrement vulnérables, comme le fait pour Antoine d'être homosexuel. « Le fait d'être ici, à force, l'asile de l'Église m'a apporté la sécurité, confie Antoine. Déjà, parce qu'au camp, je n'étais pas vraiment en sécurité. La police vient souvent déporter les gens de Dublin vers leur pays d'origine. C'est un grand soulagement que les six mois de la procédure de Dublin soient passés. Je suis très content. » Cet accueil signifie que la paroisse remplace la puissance publique. Elle met un hébergement à disposition et Antoine reçoit 200 euros par mois de l'église de Forst pour se nourrir et pour ses autres frais.  Dans le Brandebourg, région qui entoure Berlin, une quinzaine de paroisses sur 500 offrent un asile religieux. Toutes n'ont pas les capacités logistiques, bien sûr. Mais nous sommes aussi dans un Land où l'extrême droite séduit un tiers de l'électorat. Simon Klaas ne crie pas sur les toits qu'il héberge des migrants. « L'extrême droite réinterprète les valeurs chrétiennes. Aime ton prochain se réduit à la famille ou aux voisins et à ceux qui te ressemblent, mais pas aux autres, dénonce le pasteur. C'est une perversion. » Antoine n'a pas souffert du racisme à Forst où il séjourne encore. Il y a deux jours, sa procédure d'asile en Allemagne a débuté avec un entretien de plusieurs heures. Il devrait connaître la décision des autorités après l'été.  À lire aussi«Nous y arriverons»: en Allemagne, l'intégration des réfugiés progresse dans une société polarisée

Le gouvernement de Madrid a prolongé lundi 29 juin le dispositif de répartition territoriale des mineurs non accompagnés qui arrivent aux îles Canaries d'un an. La mesure s'inscrit dans un contexte de baisse du nombre d'arrivées de migrants sur l'archipel : 3 200 entre janvier et juin, soit 70 % de moins par rapport à 2025. Pour ceux qui n'ont pas rejoint l'Espagne continentale, le foot sert à la fois d'exutoire pour de longues journées et de vecteur d'intégration. L'équipe D de l'Union sportive Las Palmas est née il y a presque 10 ans pour soutenir les jeunes en risque d'exclusion sociale : aujourd'hui, elle est surtout composée de migrants.

Ce soir dans Accents d'Europe, plongée dans les archives coloniales de la Belgique : à l'AfricaMuseum, de vieilles cartes minières sur les sous-sols de la RDC, du Rwanda et du Burundi intéressent de près une société privée américaine. Nous irons aussi en Espagne, où la crise des engrais relance la filière du purin de vache. On parle aussi de l'avenir de la PAC avec l'économiste Jean-Christophe Bureau.   À Tervuren, près de Bruxelles, l'AfricaMuseum conserve des milliers de cartes et relevés géologiques datant de l'époque coloniale. Des documents précieux sur les ressources minières de la RDC, du Rwanda ou du Burundi : cobalt, lithium, cuivre, étain… La RDC a passé un accord avec une société privée américaine pour les numériser. Le musée veut garder la main. Un bras de fer discret, avec beaucoup d'argent à la clé. Reportage de Jean-Jacques Héry. En Espagne, le retour du purin La fermeture du détroit d'Ormuz a fait flamber les prix des engrais azotés. En Espagne, la crise a relancé une filière traditionnelle : le purin. Dans les Asturies, les autorités aident les éleveurs bovins à transformer ce sous-produit agricole en engrais. Reportage de Diane Cambon. La PAC, impossible à réformer ? La Politique agricole commune représente 54 milliards d'euros par an, près d'un tiers du budget de l'Union européenne. Indispensable, mais très critiquée, elle entre dans une nouvelle phase de négociations pour 2028-2034. Comment piloter une politique commune face à des agricultures européennes si différentes ?

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. De notre correspondant à Bruxelles, Alors qu'elles avaient entre 2 et 5 ans, les autorités coloniales ont placé ces cinq petites filles dans des institutions religieuses, comme des milliers d'enfants métis.

This week on Fake the Nation comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by the co-hosts of the podcast Debt Heads, Jamie Alyson Feldman & Rachel Webster! Together, they look at how the system gets us into debt and why that, frankly, sucks. They also look at the decline of the regional accent - more R's in Bostonian English, less twang in Texas - and the TikTok stars who are using regional accents to attract a following. Plus, CBS's lauded 60 Minutes is gutted, Trump's Freedom 250 concert is getting cancelled and there's pushback to... everything he does. Finally, does Graham Platner's sexting scandal matter?

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

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.
