About this episode

I bag decade-long podcaster and The Everyman of Dialect Learning™ Kris Broholm for my first interview and the excitement doesn’t leave my voice ‘till long after the episode ends. We dig deep to find Kris’s long-lost heritage dialect, prove why video games can grow – not just rot – your brain, show off Kris’s battle scars earned defending the King’s English, postulate the American Media dialect as the black hole of English dialects, find fortune in a facebook message, hear Kris’s encouragement to not fear dragging people back to your hotel room, credit his trailblazing among realistic voices in the online polyglot world, and reach the hard-earned conclusion that the collective wisdom of countless polyglots doesn’t actually help ya much.

Motivation
