Episode 9: Language Is Power

from The SafeSpace Podcast Hosted by Kayla King

In this episode, Kayla is joined by Dr. John "Spud" McCullough, a sociolinguist and lexicographer at Oxford Languages. Together, we explore the field of sociolinguistics, the power of language, the richness of language varieties, and how language evolves specifically in online spaces. Tune in for a thoughtful conversation about how the way we speak reflects identity, culture, and community.
