Bear Grease

Ep. 278: Hillbilly Speech

Class is in session as Clay Newcomb invites guest lecturer Dr. Brooks Blevins as he explores American dialects with a focus on the southern highland or "Hillbilly" dialect of the Ozark and Appalachian regions. As the class attempts to understand the content, some students just don't get it, while others are clearly "teacher's pets".  Prepare to be entertained as you listen along and get your own education about this beloved region of America on this episode of The Bear Grease Podcast.
