About this episode
The way you speak has rhythm, timbre, and pitch. It’s more like music than you might think. We chat with The Allusionist host Helen Zaltzman, Martin Zaltz Austwick from Song by Song , Music Psychologist Dr. Ani Patel of Tufts University , and Drum Composer David Dockery on how musical our speech really is.
