Podcasts about filler words

In this episode we are FINALLY talking filler words; why you use them, how to identify your unique fillers, and what to do about it.    Get the free worksheet that goes along with this episode: The Um Worksheet    

Measuring your talk time? Counting your filler words? What about "analyzing" your "emotions"? Companies that push LLM technology to surveil and summarize video meetings are increasingly offering to (purportedly) analyze your participation and assign your speech some metrics, all in the name of "productivity". Sociolinguist Nicole Holliday joins Alex and Emily to take apart claims about these "AI" meeting feedback tools, and reveal them to be just sparkling bossware, with little insight into how we talk.Nicole Holliday is Acting Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of California-Berkeley.Quick note: Our guest for this episode had some sound equipment issues, which unfortunately affected her audio quality.Main course:Read AI Review: This AI Reads Emotions During Video CallsMarketing video for Read AIZoom rebrands existing and introduces new generative AI featuresMarketing video for Zoom Revenue AcceleratorSpeech analysis startup releases AI tool that simulates difficult job interview conversationFresh AI Hell:Amazon Echo will send all recordings to Amazon beginning March 28Trump's NIST no longer concerned with “safety” or “fairness”Reporter Kevin Roose is feeling the bullshitUW's eScience institute pushing “AI” for information accessOpenAI whines about data being too expensive, with a side of SinophobiaCheck out future streams at on Twitch, Meanwhile, send us any AI Hell you see.Our book, 'The AI Con,' comes out in May!

Um…. so… today, we are…uh… going to be talking about…filler words! You know what these words are. Our favourite “Uhh…” or “Like…” or “You know…” as you stall for time when you’re thinking about what to say to someone. We have all probably been told to cut the filler words. They can make us sound unprepared, less confident, and distracted. But are they all bad? Or could there be a reason our brains love tossing in an “um” every now and then?

Andy and Michael explore common misconceptions about public speaking, the importance of delivery over content, and practical exercises to enhance communication skills to help you become more confident and effective communicators at work and home. Michael emphasizes that everyone is a public speaker in their daily lives and that good communication is fundamentally about being other-focused. Want to speak in a way that people actually listen? This episode is for you! Sound Bites “You do make a living by speaking.” "There's no such thing as public speaking—there's just speaking." "If you ever get advice that features the words ‘don't' and ‘just' in a single sentence, you should probably run away from it." "Filler words aren't the problem. They're a symptom." "AI is about to give us perfect content. The real skill? Delivering it well." "If every time you speak, you're trying to sound smart, you're going to sound dumb." "Every time you say 'um,' your brain is asking for time. Give it the time—without the 'um'." "If you can tolerate silence, you'll always sound smarter." "The first rule of better posture? Stop thinking about posture." "If you're not getting better at speaking, you're limiting your career without even realizing it."

  Three Tips for HACKING UNCERTAINTY in Turbulent Times: Find the right people who understand the "controllables." Find people who are trailblazers Find people who help others:  Chris Krimitsos is someone who kicks butt even in Turbulent Times: He has an amazing capacity for change which is one of three great truths that Price Pritchett shares in his book Quantum Leap Strategies.  Chris exudes the true Renaissance man in that he leads others to successful paths, leadership and other life skills simply by extending a helping hand.  He is well known for his amazing explosion into the Podcasting world creating PODFEST (TM) EXPO the annual Orlando, FL, conference.  Furthermore, he has now taken it internationally to Asia in 2024 and beyond. https://podfestexpo.com I have been a speaker and a volunteer for Podfest beginning virtually in 2020 continuing to 2025.  Conferences can be overwhelming.  Yet I feel Chris has surrounded himself with talented people who carry his visions for an awe-inspiring event for creators, exhibitors and attendees.   This year, Chris asked the PODFEST EXPO attendees to design the conference's T-shirts.  ( I told him that I wanted to create one with stick figures.) He responded: " DO IT" And that's the kind of person he is.. ( I didnt do it..but maybe next year.)    Chris exemplifies Price Pritchett's other concept of YOU2 (You squared) in that he chooses to take the road less travelled.  He is not afraid of failure, or missteps when taking the path of uncertainty.    His belief in the concept that one's desires are actually easier to achieve with different thinking rather than trying harder and getting the same old results.   The ABILITY TO HACK UNCERTAINTY leads to that road where dreams become reality. This choice of “ it can be easy” is due to his ability to be relentless in pursuit of a dream. Chris is someone who is always open to and takes Quantum Leaps.  Price Pritchett teaches us that a quantum leap is a move that is ours for the taking. Right now. It's a giant step you can make merely by deciding to do it,  which opens you up to resources.  Taking PODFEST to ASIA was absolutely a QUANTUM LEAP. REMEMBER… we all need a sense of direction, to be focused on our end result.  Chris Krimitsos is very much blazing that trail. His success is being in the present. Oh and there is his PODTOUR around the United States and Canada..   to be continued next podcast...   Meditations for Turbulent Times Jin Shin Jyutsu Jin Shin Jyutsu® is a gentle and nurturing healing art that helps restore balance and harmony by using light touch on specific energy points along the body.

AT OUR AGE: disrupting the pharmaceutical  “Shockingly, in the USA, it's not unusual for disadvantaged populations to suffer from rampant outbreaks of hookworm. Normally the drug prescribed for hookworm, Albendazole, can cost as much as $500 per course, making the drug out of reach for many in need. So we started off by donating more than 10,000 tablets of Albendazole to cure parasitic infections in the most affected areas of the southern US. Our goal is to dramatically reduce the cost of drugs like Albendazole, but we also think that it is just as important to introduce transparency to the pricing of drugs so patients know they are getting a fair price.Our cost for Albendazole is $26.08 per course. We mark that price up by 15% so we can continue to run the company and invest in disrupting the pricing of as many drugs as we possibly can.That makes the base price of the drug $30. Then we add on the actual cost, $5.00, that our pharmacy partners charge us to prepare and provide your prescription to you. https://v2.costplusdrugs.com/mission/   GUIDANCE Mark Cuban Cost plus company CREATE ACCOUNT HERE https://v2.costplusdrugs.com/mission/   ADVENTURE  ADVENTURE AXS TV is a leading television, streaming, digital, and social music and entertainment brand owned and operated by Anthem Sports & Entertainment, Inc https://axs.tv/   DISCOVER ALYSSA'S COOKIES:  Our goal was to create a cookie that was different from any store bought cookies or bars that are mostly dry and loaded with unwanted ingredients https://alyssascookies.com/ MY FAVORITE THINGS  My online Fear of Public speaking Course Sample class and book  a class here Get Rid of Enemy Words, those dreaded FILLER WORDS  https://bit.ly/3ZB2muG https://calendly.com/vahail1956/30min valerie@allinourminds.com

It's natural to be frightened by me.    Don't stay frightened however   Find a neighbor or nearby friend to relieve the fear   Play cards or a game to take your mind off of my powerful rain and wind   Don't weather my storm by yourself. Stay in touch with someone in close proximity    “But when you're consumed with your own wants and needs, you lose touch with others who are involved in the uncertainty equation. This kind of self-centeredness is the opposite of what now is calling for. Try to redirect your attention—get outside yourself—and be mindful of other people's needs.” Price Pritchett, Ph.D HACKING UNCERTAINTY www.pritchettllp.net   Kundalini yoga-  K Yoga feel your abundance- this is a cool yoga class for ABUNDANCE.. you must have an orange!! https://youtu.be/jRegtSKAZDI?si=mbASBNtFRB8fLBO0   WINE: -  GLENELLY Congratulations to a ninety nine years of age chatelaine for writing “My Journey with Wine” by May de Lencquesaing My Journey with Wine tells the exceptional story of a woman whose destiny was to lead her from a life in a chateau to a garrison in the Midwest, from Bordeaux to Beijing, from the wine estates of Médoc to the Cape vineyards of South Africa.

Allow me to share my story of being saved by a technology QUEEN Here is one the most important aspects of SUZAN MYRTLE'S company, STUDIODOG: “If you are unhappy for any reason, please contact us and we will make it right. It's that simple.” https://studiodog Unsung heroines in technology such as website creation,  marketing websites (seo), website hosting  etc:  WOMEN in this kind of technology are rare. I had a recent experience where I was being “ taken to the cleaners” by a creative company designing my new company logo and website. I realized I needed to move my business to someone I knew and trusted for twenty years. Studiodog was my choice.  Owned by Suzan Myrtle, she  is one of the most creative, responsive and honest people and companies that I have partnered with in my former business,  Le PETIT CHATEAU INN. That business became a destination travel lodging because of the consistent professionalism of StudioDog. The beautiful website  and consistent expertise was constantly applauded by guests.  When you visit Studiodog's  website and see the vast array of website designs for hundreds of different businesses, you know you are in the right place. StudioDog's representation runs the gamut of association websites to wedding websites. Lesson learned : Work with a company that has longevity  Do more than scratch the surface when you receive a referral.  The previous website company was more interested in over charging me....That company  was not concerned about my satisfaction  Kundalini yoga-  K Yoga feel your abundance- this is a cool yoga class for ABUNDANCE.. you must have an orange!! https://youtu.be/jRegtSKAZDI?si=mbASBNtFRB8fLBO0 WINE: -  GLENELLY Congratulations to a ninety nine years of age chatelaine for writing “My Journey with Wine” by May de Lencquesaing My Journey with Wine tells the exceptional story of a woman whose destiny was to lead her from a life in a chateau to a garrison in the Midwest, from Bordeaux to Beijing, from the wine estates of Médoc to the Cape vineyards of South Africa.

Selling your Stuff and the Wicked Capital Gains Tax. Remember when George Carlin did a skit on STUFF? His one line about how we all have houses for our STUFF. Then… we need to buy a bigger house to move all our stuff to because we out grew the first house.. That transaction of selling the first house will trigger a capital gain tax.  And it can be wicked. At Our Age… we are downsizing and selling our stuff: Our primary residence, vacation rentals, rental properties.  Possibly renting now or moving into a condo with no maintenance. I am experiencing the shock, actually, of realizing a huge Capital Gain Tax from owning rental properties and an inn for twenty two years in new York.  I am sharing the journey with folks as I believe a lot of folks do not prepare for this large taxable event. My personal advice is to know this :  you can only deduct the last three years of improvements before the sale.  Therefore keep really good records of any improvements and other deductions that will lessen the Capital Gains Tax.  I am now working with a TAX EXPERT ( Sheree White) because the accountants did not know how to work with Capital Gains Tax. She is also an IRS enrolled agent which makes her qualified to manage the issues.  Moreover.. SHE TALKS TO THE IRS so you don't have to be on the phone with them for hours.

Summary In this episode, Andy welcomes sociolinguist Valerie Fridland to discuss her new book Like, Literally, Dude: Arguing for the Good in Bad English. They explore the significance of language use in leadership, including the use of filler words, intensifiers, and vocal fry. She challenges the notion that filler words should be eliminated, highlighting their cognitive and communicative benefits. Overall, the conversation provides insights into the complexities of language and its role in effective communication. It's a fun discussion about language that will have you laughing, for sure, but also leaving the conversation with insights to help you lead more effectively at work (and at home). Sound Bites "Probably the best answer is I know enough about other languages to order a beer in those languages and that's pretty much probably all you need." "But it's also on the other side that when we're letting ourselves get distracted by those speech features (filler words), and then we're dismissing what they have to say because of something we don't like, we're also doing something wrong." "I said I study vowel movements. He heard bowel movements and thought I was a gastroenterologist." "If parents are worried about the way their kids talk, just show really good interest in trying to copy it and they'll never say it in front of you again."

We've all been there. You've given a presentation or had a job interview and realized afterwards that you may have used too many words like “um”, “you know” or “like”. While these fillers are distracting if overused, when added in moderation, they do play a very specific purpose.

Hello to you listening in Yamaguchi City, Japan!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.I've produced over 1,000 daily podcast episodes on the global airwaves. Each episode is typically between 60 and 180 seconds. In mere minutes I share a story, a message, and a call to action.Why does brevity matter? Attention spans are dangerously short. More importantly communicating information in a clear, concise and cogent manner gets you seen, heard, understood and listened to. At the same time you develop your communication confidence.3 Tips to Improve Your Communication Confidence:1. Do you stumble over your words in a meeting or presentation? Before you speak think about the key points you want to make. Jot down a roadmap with bullet points. Once you start speaking you'll be anchored and directed. Make your points and end with a strong conclusion.2. Do you over-explain because you're unsure whether your audience is with you? If you feel you're not getting your point across take the pulse of the room every now and again by asking a short question: Are you with me? What are you hearing? Does this make sense? Gauge the reaction before you continue speaking. You may need to backtrack or take a question.3. Do you feel like you use too many filler words? The meaningless ums, uhs, likes, and ya knows that suck the oxygen out of the room. Filler words can detract from our assertiveness. But at times we can use the word ‘like' to create connection with our audience. People communicate in metaphors: this is like that is. Know your words. Choose your words. When in doubt, take a breath.  Bonus tip: Every day for 3 minutes practice speaking out loud. Record and listen to yourself. Pay attention to what sounds good and what could sound better. Once you raise awareness about what you do well and what to do better you will do it.CTA: I'm ready to help you grow into a confident communicator who can clarify ideas and amplify messages.  No obligation Discovery Chat is available. Email me at info@quartermoonstoryarts.net OR click the LINK in the Episode Notes.

On this episode, I'm going to cover the dreaded errs and uhms. Yup, those filler words that High School teachers and Toasting Clubs try to eliminate from the speeches of their students and members. However, I think you will be shocked to learn that just about everything that you have ever learned about those errs, uhhms, and other filler words is just flat-out wrong.So stick around, and I will share with you a few truths about this symptom of nervousness.Filler words are a natural part of everyday conversations. In fact, if they aren't there, you'll sound strange (or even fake) to the audience, so you don't want to eliminate the filler words altogether. However, that doesn't mean they have to be a major part of your speeches and presentations either. Overuse of filler words has the potential to detract from your message, so as you become more and more comfortable speaking in front of a group, it might be a good idea to fine-tune your message by reducing these distractions. The best speakers in the world have trained themselves, over time, to minimize their use of filler words. (Notice that I said minimize, not eliminate.) Excessive use frustrates the audience and makes the speaker less credible. With a bit of practice, you can also minimize filler words.Show Notes: How to Stop Saying Errs, Uhhms, and Other Filler Words in Speeches.

This week it's our good friend Gretchen (G). We had her on before (Episode 31) and she's back to talk about her knee surgery and how she dealt with the procedure, the pain, the meds and the overall recovery. And she did it all sober. Then we talked about the pains we all have. Getting old has its challenges. Mike did his reading and it had to do with acceptance. Coincidentally, G has been having some struggles with acceptance and we had a nice discussion about that. It was a fun conversation with a true friend and we think that you may get something out of it. Or maybe not. I guess you'll just have to listen. Enjoy the episode.

We're often advised not to use “um” or “uh”, or “so” and “you know” in our communication. But linguist Valerie Fridland might argue otherwise. “Language is about how we encode both the linguistic message and a social message,” she says. “Crutch words … are really valuable and they have arisen to serve a need.” In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart: the podcast, Fridland sits down with host and strategic communications lecturer Matt Abrahams to discuss how and when we use "you know","so", and other filler words. For example, Fridland says, the way we use “um” varies greatly from how and we might use “uh.” And the use of “like,” while deplored by many, actually serves a linguistic function and can provide context and background for a listener.She and Matt also discuss the social linguistic function of vocal fry and whether emojis have a place in business communication. Fridland is a professor of sociolinguistics at the University of Nevada. She's an expert on the relationship between language and society and recently released a new book, Like Literally Dude: Arguing for the Good in Bad English.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
