Brasse pa lamèrd

The monthly podcast about linguistic discrimination. Learn about how we judge other people's speech as a sneaky way to be racist, sexist, classist, etc. Carrie and Megan teach you how to stop being an accidental jerk. Support this podcast at www.patreon.com/vocalfriespod

Instead of arguing with people about issues around language discrimination I’ve just started sending them links to this podcast. Carrie and Megan do such an amazing job finding people who are doing important work in this field and asking them great questions.

Fantastic!!!

I listen to a lot of language and linguistics podcasts, and this one has quickly become one of my favorites because of how Carrie and Megan approach using knowledge and information about linguistic behavior and linguistics research and scholarship to make the world a better place with a little more justice, a little more humanity, and a little more patience and understanding of differences in how people communicate.

Thank you for all your wonderful work!
