Summary

Talking dogs. Rolled Rs. That dangly thing in the back of your throat. Speech impediments. Alternative forms of communication. And talking cats. World famous speech pathologist by day, dog whisperer also by day, Christina Hunger MA, CCC-SLP joins us to talk about what those letters after her name mean, helping people literally find their voice, AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication), different types of language and communication, and how she applied the same principles to gift her dog with the ability to emotionally manipulate her. A tale as old as time. Learn about emerging schools of thought around the ethics of differing modes of interpersonal communication, and just maybe how you can teach your most beloved angels how to demand more cheese in plain language. Also: WARD'S DOING A VIRTUAL LIVE SHOW ON MAY 18TH.

0:00.0	Hey, hey there. What's up? It's the bee that is trapped in your car that does not understand
0:05.1	that you opened the back window for it. Alli Ward, I'm here. I'm using the mouth. I'm saying
0:09.7	sounds to tell you about an episode that I have been hoping to do for about a year or
0:15.0	or so at least. So we're getting right into it. So thisologist got a master's in speech
0:19.6	language pathology from Northern Illinois University and works as a pediatric speech
0:24.9	pathologist for early intervention. That means tiny kiddos. After her name, there are a bunch
0:31.2	of letters, MACCC-SLP. I had to Google them to learn that they meant master of arts, certificate
0:39.0	of clinical competence in speech language pathology. It's very fancy. And like the rest of the world,
0:44.9	doing nothing but bathing in hand sanitizer and looking at their phones in the beginning of 2020,
0:50.7	I saw a video of a dog named Stella, a chocolate brown healer mix, just asking to go to the beach
0:59.0	using a talking buzzer. And life kind of slowed down. I wanted to melt into the floor and contemplate
1:04.9	talking dogs forever. So I started following the hunger for words Instagram. And I would hear
1:11.1	thisologist and her partner Jake training Stella with this expanding vocabulary. The days finally

1:22.1	Not Stella. The dog is not here. The speech language pathologist is okay. But first, I have an
1:27.5	announcement for you. I'm just going to make this quick, but this one is really big. So please
1:31.5	hold on to your one collective, but I'm finally doing a live show. Y'all, why not? How bad could I
1:37.9	screw it up? We're going to find out on May 18th, 2021. It's a virtual show. It's catching up with
1:44.5	Dad Ward, Allergy's live. And it is featuring the return of our very first guest,
1:50.7	volcanologist, Jess Phoenix. And we're going to be catching up on volcanoes that have gushed
1:56.7	molten rocks since I talked to her four years ago. How she felt about running for office. Where
2:02.1	in the world, she has been hammering rock samples since she wrote a book. She's been on CNN a lot.
