I Listen to Podcasts on My Phone: A Linguistic Experiment
Manage episode 464291571 series 1750135
In this special bonus episode, Todd is joined by executive producer Abby to dive into a long-lost audio experiment from 2021. What started as a casual observation about Ohio Valley accents turned into a full-fledged linguistic study (or, at least, a hilarious excuse to make people say the same phrase over and over again).
- The Origin Story: How a simple Anchor ad read sparked an accent deep-dive.
- The Experiment: Todd and Abby asked friends and family from different regions to record the phrase "I listen to podcasts on my phone." No context. No explanation. Just blind obedience.
- The Results: Ohio Valley? Columbus? Philly? Arizona? Carolina? Todd plays the clips, and Abby provides her expert analysis on who sounds like what.
- Nightmare Fuel: Because Todd can’t leave well enough alone, all the voices are mashed into a cursed supercut. Good luck sleeping after this one.
- A Special Tribute: Stick around after the credits for a clip featuring a very special voice.
This episode is pointless, ridiculous, and completely necessary—because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love an impromptu linguistic study?
