Eric Singer - really quite fascinating, and really get's into the complexity of language.  Especially as he morphs between different accents.

he's also talking about an upper midwest where there is a language shift going on right now that is comparable to the great vowel shift.

Part one

part two  (all there is so far.)

This is great! Thank you! I was prepared to catch him not doing my accent right, but he nailed it. In high school I worked in a touristy shop and out of town people would always comment on my accent. As a teen I was self conscious about it, but now I find regional accents so interesting.
