Title: How You Say It
Author: Katherine D. Kinzler
Category: Psychology & Human Behavior, Writing, Language & Storytelling, Culture & Society
We think language is about facts, but it's really a social signal. Babies pick sides by accent, kids trust familiar voices over competence, and your accent can shape your life. Katherine Kinzler explains the hidden power of how you say it, and how to listen better.
Sam and Sophie walk through the book's core argument: language is a social signal that shapes trust and belonging from infancy. They discuss experiments showing babies prefer native accents, kids trust familiar voices over competence, and adults rate the same words differently based on accent. The episode covers code-switching, bilingualism's cognitive benefits, and the real-world consequences of linguistic bias in hiring, housing, and justice.
If you've ever felt judged by your voice or caught yourself judging others, this episode will make you think twice. The takeaway: awareness is the first step to overcoming linguistic bias, and listening with empathy is a skill we can all build.
