Talk the Talk – Uptalk

This was a fun episode today. I didn’t think I was going to have enough to talk about on the subject of ‘uptalking’, but there’s quite a lot to say. Plus it was fun to actually ‘uptalk’ because I knew it would annoy our producer Peter Barr.

‘Uptalking’, for the uninitiated, is where you use question-style intonation even when you’re not asking a question. Everyone has an opinion on what it means — you’re unconfident, you’re seeking approval — but I think of this as idle speculation. And then I add some of my own — hey, my idle speculation is as good as anyone else’s.
