OM DENNE EPISODE

What did you think of this episode?

In this episode, we dig into seven key reasons Appalachian and Southern speakers push back when others critique the way we talk. Media bias, language discrimination, and a deep sense of ownership over our vowels, words, and ways of speaking all play a role in why dialect pride can turn into defensiveness.
