    As always, your thoughts are an encouragement and I love hearing your voice! As a young girl I listened to radio shows with my dad (he was blind) and that began for me, the joy of hearing others speak. Thanks for taking the time to share your life and thoughts with us.

    Sally,
    I’m enjoying your podcast so far, and I love your voice! I live in Southern CA, and your accent is so different from ours that I could just listen to you talk all day.

      Hi Erika,

      I’m glad you are enjoying it. I laughed at your comment about my accent. I’m a fifth generation Michigander and it’s obvious in the way I speak. Part of it is something called the Northern Cities Vowel Shift, and, yes, it is a real thing.

      I don’t think about how I pronounce words in a Michigan way in everyday life, but I do when I speak with someone from another part of the country. It is a very Michigan thing to say words in such a way that some of the sounds sound like they are running together. I noticed it when I was listening to my podcasts for editing.

      Here’s a couple of articles about it.

      The Michigan Accent & Slang Words

      What’s In A Vowel? In Search Of The Disappearing Short-A Rising

      Is There a Place in America Where People Speak Without Accents?

      Thank you for your comment. It made me smile this morning!

    Oh, Sallie. The accent nerd in me is basking in the Michigan glow. These links are amazing. *practices Michigan accent, futilely*

    The podcasts turned out really well! You have a good voice for it, good topics, and also good editing.

    The only thing I would suggest is to show the length of each podcast somewhere. I’m not able to see it at all in the player.

      Thanks, Peggy, for the kind words.

      When I click play on both versions of the players, I get a time on the far right that shows how long the podcast is. Is it not showing up on yours?

      Thanks,
      Sallie

        Well, after playing with it for a bit, I found that if I put my cursor right on the black line on the progress bar as the podcast is playing, then it will show podcast length, time elapsed, and the time where the black line is sitting or has been moved to. That will do for me to get the information that I want, but it’s not something that I would have intuitively known to do.

    Hi Sallie ~
    I’m from Ferndale, Michigan (S.E. Michigan) now living in Dallas TX. I am always being asked if I am a Canadian 🙂 Even as a “native-speaker” I truly enjoyed your explanations of our quirks!

      Hi Donna,

      That is funny about the Canadian question. So you can take the girl out of Michigan, but you can’t take the Michigan out of the girl. LOL!

      Thanks for the comment!

    Sallie,

    It was so lovely hearing your voice! I really enjoyed listening to the first episode of your podcast. It sounded very professional (unlike my first podcast episode)!

    I’m also an introvert who isn’t shy. I love public speaking too. Maybe that’s why I enjoy podcasting. It sounds like you’re going to enjoy this new adventure as well!

      Hi Sue,

      Thanks for the encouragement re: my podcast. And the advice about the microphones when I asked the question on your site.

      I don’t know if I’ll ever be as prolific as you’ve been as a podcaster, but I’m enjoying it for now. We’ll see how things develop. I think podcasting can be a good option for people who like to speak but don’t have the opportunity to do so for whatever reason.

      Sallie
