“I just attempted to listen to this episode. I gave up between 8-9 minutes in. This was exceptionally poorly presented. The presenter didn’t even attempt to define the term until well into the podcast, where (at around 6 1/2 minutes in) she finally allowed someone to give a vague description. (She had earlier started a TV segment but cut it off before the definition could come out.) A more detailed description didn’t appear until after 8+ minutes. In the interim, there were innumerable uses of the terms “vocal fry” or “fry”. If you are going to utilize such a vague term, at least make an effort to define it UP FRONT in the podcast. I am a physician and this would be analogous to me starting a long conversation with a patient using an arcane medical term and not defining its meaning until the patient was going out the door. I truly tried to make it through this very poorly constructed presentation, however the sloppy terminology and “valley girl” vocal inflections of the host (so many statements end up sounding like questions) that I had to quit. Regrettably, when I listen to the podcasts I can now only focus on the host’s vocal quality. This is a good podcast concept, hindered but suboptimal organization and presentation. I suggest you look elsewhere for entertainment.”

“It’s gratifying to understand the unique origins and stories behind words we use every day. It makes me celebrate, embrace
and cherish the spoken and written word like never before. I am earning “street cred” with my kids while expanding their vocabulary, and more importantly, their curiously...”Read full review »
