This Memorial Day, we start with a new interview on the history and meaning of the holiday, then some of our recent favorite conversations: More than the start of summer, Memorial Day is about honoring those who died in service to the country. Kenneth C. Davis, author of the "Don't Know Much About History" series and most recently, Strongman: The Rise of Five Dictators and the Fall of Democracy (Henry Holt and Company, 2020), talks about the holiday's post-Civil War origin and America's contested history in general. Elie Mystal, justice correspondent for The Nation and the author of Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution (The New Press, 2022), talks about his new book, plus offers analysis of legal news. Erik Singer, dialect coach for film and television, breaks down where the distinctive features of regional accents originate, as listeners share their own accents and why they have, or have not, sought to change them. Edward Sorel, illustrator and author of Profusely Illustrated: A Memoir (Knopf, 2021), talks about his life and his lefty political commentary, delivered through his art. Liza Donnelly, writer and cartoonist at The New Yorker and the author of Very Funny Ladies: The New Yorker's Women Cartoonists, 1925-2021 (Prometheus, 2022), talks about some of the women whose cartoons have appeared in The New Yorker over the years, plus how the field has changed through its history.

This year's Oscar nominations are full of actors donning accents other than their own. Kristen Stewart embodied the Princess of Wales. Andrew Garfield once again made a convincing New Yorker. Nicole Kidman played Nicole Kidman as Lucille Ball. And Lady Gaga did what she did as well. So, what goes into learning another accent? Dialect coach Erik Singer, known for his popular Wired YouTube series, joins us to explain and answer listeners' accent questions.
Listeners call in to share how their relationship with their regional accents have evolved throughout their lives and dialect coach Erik Singer joins the discussion to break down the origins of the distinctive regional features of accents. Yes. To save my life. Sounding more academic when speaking to people in positions of authority (police in particular) reduces the risk of their having a negative assumption of me. — Manbauman (@CraigManbauman) January 26, 2022 I've heard Philly accent has southern origins. “Linguisticly Philly is the northernmost southern city” were the words I recall. (Native Philly here) — The Left isn't divided the center is 🐌🍄🐙🦔😷🐌 (@atmoore68) January 26, 2022 Just completed watching "the Shrink Next Door" found Will Ferrell's awful take on a NYC Jewish accent really distracting. I wish they had my dad as a dialogue coach. — Otto Cosmop (@MichaelBernste4) January 26, 2022

If you know me and my work then you know that I talk a lot about identity, and especially how your accent is a big part of your identity: your accent tells the story of your life. But if you do want to change your accent, or improve your pronunciation, how do you do it? Recently I had the pleasure of talking to someone with expert answers to that question: Erik Singer, a dialect coach who helps film and television actors to speak with an accent that is not their native accent, and because of this he knows exactly what it takes mentally and physically to change the way you speak. In this interview we talk about how to change your accent, the best ways to practice, but more importantly if and why you should try to ‘speak like a native'. I hope you enjoy it.
HOW IS KIM BUM OUR FAVOURITE RIGHT NOW? Judy and Linda felt gleeful during episodes 2-4 of “Tale of the Nine Tailed” (구미호뎐), a TVN supernatural romance starring Lee DongWook, Jo BoAh and Kim Bum. We were so disappointed by the kiss between Yeon (Lee DongWook) and AhEum (Jo BoAh) in the flashback. This HAS to get better, right? Kim Bum's ability to switch between douchiness and vulnerability is really impressing us. Linda watched a significant portion of the episodes through her fingers because of the horror.

After our overview episode last week, Phil and Eric look in greater detail at the full range of R consonant variation. We follow the Rhotic Consonants page on wikipedia as a means of tracking the various possible articulations. You can follow along, too! We cover: • Trills • Alveolar [r] • Uvular [ʀ] • Retroflex [ɽ] • Taps and flaps • Alveolar tap [ɾ] • Alveolar lateral flap [ɺ] • Retroflex flap [ɽ] • Labiodental flap (perceived as non-rhotic) [ⱱ] • Alveolar approximant [ɹ] • Molar approximant (aka “braced” /r/) -- see John Wells’s phonetic blog on the VASTA discussion and Erik Singer’s “anchor” [] • Retroflex approximant [ɻ] • Uvular fricative [ʁ]
Think about this: hosts Phil Thompson and Eric Armstrong are delving into the sounds represented by the spelling “th” this week. In the course of it, they’ll chat about how the sound is rare in the world’s languages, how it’s formed in various varieties of English around the world, and its use in Spanish.
