  1. Great podcast! Tim, you mentioned Kamala Harris' accent in Atlanta, this is called "code switching" . It has been written about since the 1950s. I studied it when I did a course in linguistics at university. Perhaps increase your social and cultural capital by engaging with bilingual folks. It's really common. As a teacher I taught students who were bilingual. They were all familiar with the concept.
