Stop the Vocal Fry!! Updated

“Honestly, I love the content. It’s well-written and engaging. But the host speaks with a vocal fry that makes her sound a little like an adolescent. This is a podcast, folks! Clean up your diction!
Post Vocal Fry Episode Update: While I enjoyed the history of the topic, which this podcast always does well, the host lost me when she accused all those who don’t appreciate her vocal fry as being sexist. Does she understand that her listeners are NPR listeners? Does she understand this audience at all? Also, these are people who listen to the podcast, knowing full well that the host is a woman. Sorry, the accusations of sexism just fall short. Plus, vocal fry is also grating in men.
The reality is that any good, professional journalist is going to clean up their voice to be on radio. This doesn’t mean that they lose their individuality or any distinctness that is their claim to fame. It just means that we can understand everything they say.
This show is very good and has a lot of promise. I hope that the host doesn’t let herself get in the way of what it can be.”
