How to Check Your Bias: Accents with Dr. Katherine Kinzler

Samara chats with the California congresswoman who resigned in November—about how to actually run for office, the politics of politics on Capitol Hill, and what it was like to weather a very public shaming—and how to write and deliver a speech in the midst of it. With lots of swearing and free-flowing rosé, this is a bit of a departure from the rest of Katie’s press tour for her new book, She Will Rise: Becoming a Warrior in the Battle for True Equality, but permission to speak, amirite?? Host: Samara BayExecutive producers: Catherine Burt Cantin & Mark Cantin, Double Vision doublevisionprojects.comProducers: Samara Bay, Sophie Lichterman and the iHeart teamTheme music: Mark CantinSamara on IG: @samarabayCat on IG: @catburt & @doublevisionprojects Katie on Twitter: @katiehill4CA Katie’s book: indiebound.org/book/9781538737002 AOC quote: twitter.com/AOC/status/1133383123503321090 Kamala & Sarah Cooper **MUST WATCH**: youtube.com/watch?v=QfU7O2ghg3k Email us at [email protected] – where do you need more permission? And of course, SUBSCRIBE!!

Samara chats with the author of “Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language” about the subtle ways our speech differs from men’s, and why. This is a conversation about how we talk, how we get judged, how we judge others, and what needs to change (and doesn’t!) so we can show up in the world as ourselves.   Host: Samara BayExecutive producers: Catherine Burt Cantin & Mark Cantin, Double Vision doublevisionprojects.comProducers: Samara Bay, Sophie Lichterman and the iHeart teamTheme music: Mark Cantin“Wordslut” by Amanda Montell (new in paperback): indiebound.org/book/9780062868886Amanda on IG: @amanda_montell“Joining the Resistance” by Carol Gilligan: indiebound.org/book/9780745651705“Boys & Sex” by Peggy Orenstein: indiebound.org/book/9780062666970Email [email protected] with any questions about your voice and Samara will answer 'em in our next mailbag episode! And of course, please pass this along to anyone who could use it.

For this first pod in a special Permission to Speak series on “non-standard” English (ie. how you probably speak... ehem), Samara chats with the linguist and scholar about African American English: why Black kids internalize shame about how they sound from an early age, what “standard English” even is and who the heck decided, and how all of our assumptions around speaking "correctly" play out on the grand scale (hiring practices, college admissions, policy) and on the small scale (within our friend circles, who we choose to read and admire and trust). This is the pod on antiracism you didn't know you needed. More on Dr. Charity-Hudley: @acharityhudley on IG, annecharityhudley.comHer Slate piece: slate.com/human-interest/2014/10/english-variation-not-related-to-intelligence-code-switching-and-other-ways-to-fight-linguistic-insecurity.htmlAntiracist action if you're in CA -- learn more about ACA5, on the ballot this November, and consider a YES vote: latimes.com/california/story/2020-06-11/skelton-aca5-affirmative-action-proposition-209-californiaNell Painter: nellpainter.com Kristin Linklater: linklatervoice.com Killer Mike’s speech: youtube.com/watch?v=kSWasOhArfM MLK’s final speech: youtube.com/watch?v=FmkwI5ItCFk Bessie Smith: npr.org/2018/01/05/575422226/forebears-bessie-smith-the-empress-of-the-blues David Crystal: thriftbooks.com/a/david-crystal/237279/ More on honoring native lands: usdac.us/nativeland Send Samara any questions about your voice for our next mailbag episode at PermissiontoSpeakPod.com or on IG @permissiontospeakpod And of course, please pass this along to anyone who could use it.
