On today’s episode we are talking about how we talk to our furry friends. If you have a fur baby and talk to them in a fun baby voice you’re not alone. We talk about why we humans do this and why our animals respond to it. Hannah shows off her Scottish accent in this week’s What’s this Word. And we have a phone number where you can text and call us! Listen to get the digits.

In today episode we sat down with avid TikToker and linguist, Juliane Bilotta, who holds a masters degree in linguistic anthropology and is currently working on her Ph.D. Wow! We ask the real questions like what is linguistics, what are allophones, and what’s the deal with vocal fry? We also have way too much fun in what’s the word and Hannah doesn't know what a dime is.

This week we focus on Evan and what it was like to grow up in the state that’s the farthest north, east, and west, Alaska. We hear stories about smacking a moose, what you call several moose, how not to read a compass, plus we learn nothing about Australia’s snow region.

Former co-worker and friend, Karen Cooper, joins us this week as we dissect the “Karen” slur. Our Karen is pretty far from the common memed Karens of the world but we discuss how all of us have a Karen within us, even men. Born and raised outside of Manhattan in a New Jersey suburb, Karen talks about the common misconceptions she dealt with. We also play a new game, and Hannah’s “What’s the Word” gets silly.
