Susan Boyle

Joining the conversation are Adele, the British powerhouse known for her soulful ballads, and Susan Boyle, the Scottish singer who captivated hearts on 'Britain's Got Talent'. Together with linguist Susan K. Herman, they explore why singers often sound American despite their accents. The discussion delves into the quirky 'I before E' rule and its multitude of exceptions. They also share insights on how accents transform in music, and the personal connection language has through charming familial mispronunciations.

Sharon Shannon, Slipknot, Sting, Susan Boyle discuss the 'The Artists That Start With S Festival'. Dermot's imaginative festival, chaotic music discussions, humorous taxi driver tales, and insurance insights make for a lively episode.
