Advice welcome - I'm moving as much as I can off Spotify (for various reasons) so where's a good place to link to for the pod? Where do other people use that's not Spotify-related? And any good alternatives to what used to be Anchor (now Spotify) for uploading pods?

We've been away for a while but episode 75 is finally here. We talk about accent discrimination, attitudes to teachers' accents and about what accent prejudice tells us about wider social attitudes. #Linguistics open.spotify.com/episode/5wnC...

No sooner had we finished recording a Lang in the News segment than the Telegraph runs the same kind of story again. It's uncanny...
I hate to say it but The Telegraph is running its regular 'woke nonsense' story again. It's *literally* the same story every week, even down to the same cast of talking heads describing it as Marxist thought policing or leftist linguistic gatekeeping.

Interesting read, with so much detail. Made me think of the rise of "y'all" nationwide (as the country becomes more southern) and the decline of the southern drawl in places like Atlanta (as the south becomes more like the rest of the country).
Got a story out today about something I’ve been fascinated by for years: From Atlanta hip hop to Bama RushTok, here’s how and why the South has taken such a firm grip on modern American culture. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
The United States Is Southern Now
From booming metros to culture-defining exports, the South has quietly become a demographic powerhouse and a battleground for the country’s identity.

It's nearly the end of term, so thanks to all the linguists who have appeared on the show this academic year. We've had some great interviews and met some lovely people.
And thanks to all of you for listening. We'll be back in the Autumn term and are getting a few things lined up for then.

At least one reason why I mostly don't write accents in my comics is basically this. Who gets written with an accent and who doesn't is always a tell.
This. It's like how Southerners used to transcribe Oasis as saying "fookin'". No. They said "fuckin'". Southerners say "fahrkin".
Wet blanket here. These stupid things never fucking work because *obviously* people in Manchester already read Aldi as Aldeh. They'll read Aldeh as a different word. You London-centric pricks. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
