Though Phil and Eric had intended to cover all the diacritical marks in the IPA in this podcast, they just couldn’t do it. In fact, Eric’s recorder stopped recording after 45 minutes, though they kept talking for 15 more minutes... so this is merely ... more

In this episode, Phil and Eric tackle two of the “centering diphthongs” (aka the r-colored diphthongs in rhotic accents), square and start. Much of the episode is spent tackling the very subtle possibilities of vowel quality where these lexical sets ... more

This week we delve deeper into the topic of weaken vowels that behave similarly to schwa /ə/, namely the weakened forms of the /i/ and /u/ vowels [usually realized as somewhere in the range of [i̽] or [ɨ], [ʊ] or perhaps [ɵ], sometimes known—controve... more

  • beautifully done

    I absolutely love this podcast! It's rather like being back in a grad school class... without the threat of an exam. Phil and Eric handle the subject matter with warmth and humour and do so in a manner that I believe will appeal to both the casually interested amateur and the voice professional. Please continue the great work!

As Phil mentions in episode 5, there is a tendency for Speech teachers to use the IPA as some kind of stentorian authority; or, in o... more
