As always, I am in total agreement with my Frave.
After the debate, confused how polling shows that American people are undecided on an ice cream cone (whether or not it's your favorite flavor) vs getting hit by an eighteen-wheeler carting flaming chemicals careening diagonally across the highway.

ACROSS ACOUSTICS New! In this episode, we talk to @MtwoBtwo (@UCSPPLab) and @perj44 (@UA_AS), about why instructors should use a variety of voices in the classroom, and how to talk about other ways of speaking when one feels ill-equipped to do so: buzzsprout.com/1537384/15085….

One reason I love talking about this stuff is that I get to promote kindness in the world. I’m so lucky to do this job.
Professor Baese-Berk @MtwoBtwo of the University of Chicago has simple advice for helping people who are learning your language—meet them halfway. Dive in with us this week on Top of Mind at the link in our bio or on any podcast platform.

I also forgot that cheering for the Phillies means I also booked a ticket for the Craig Kimbrel rollercoaster of nausea and anxiety, which I have lots of familiarity with as a Red Sox and Cubs fan.

I am fully on the Phillies bandwagon this fall (thanks to the delight that is a happy baseball @ellen_adair) and Rhys Hoskins throwing out the first pitch to Schwarbs qualifies for my first cry of the postseason.

A replay of a fun @wnpr @colinmcshow episode from earlier in the year, with @eabrewster, @MtwoBtwo, and me speaking about misspeaking.
This hour, we're celebrating the joy of playing with language! Mondegreens, malapropisms, and more. Listen now on @wnpr, or find the show wherever you get your podcasts: trib.al/PHL71nh

I’ve never laughed so hard at baseball as I did seeing Morel taking his shirt off when Canario hit a grand slam.
