    Rune Pedersen has a new challenge. After becoming a father, and being cooped up at home on parental leave he's relearning how to talk - so to speak. In the first episode of How Humans Talk, Rune dives headfirst into the intricacies of human communication. Guided by speech pathologist and voice expert Dr Sarah Lobegeiger de Rodriguez, he discovers the untapped power of the human voice, exploring why we often undervalue something so essential to our identity and relationships. Rune also chats with Dory Wang, who went from being a TV presenter in China to starting from scratch in Australia, armed with just a handful of vegetable names and some pleasantries. Together they unpack the emotional and social complexities faced by multilingual speakers, from battling accent biases to rethinking what belonging truly means.

    Rune Pedersen is on a mission to understand the power, and the pleasure, of profanity. In this episode of How Humans Talk, Rune explores swearing as more than just colourful language. From cheeky insults to taboo breakers, curse words carry history, emotion, and even a little magic. Teaming up with renowned linguist Professor Kate Burridge from Monash University, we're going to be taken on a deep dive into the psychology and sociology of swearing. They unpack everything from Aussie larrikin slang to ancient blasphemies, from the science behind pain relief through profanity, and why we swear less when things get really serious. Please note: This episode contains strong language. Listener discretion is advised—but also encouraged.
