About this listen
What did you think of this episode?
Southern accents are in the news again (but they've really never left our hearts and minds). Maybe it was Parker Posey's White Lotus character from North Carolina, who stole hearts with her syrupy vowels that created the latest buzz. But the conversation always leads to: are Southern accents fading?
The short answer is, it's more complicated than a yes or no, but I'm tackling that question about Southern and Appalachian accents (as well as the overlap in Southern Appalachian) in this episode.
