The Pronunciation Studio Pogcast

(EX)Plosion

Joseph Hudson Season 1 Episode 8

The English plosive consonants /p,t,k,b,d,g/ are made by fully blocking air as it leaves the body. 

Although they have strong spelling to sound relationships, they are a little bit tricky in pronunciation with processes including aspiration, affrication, glottalisation and many assimilations. 

In this episode I explore these sounds and processes, and answer a question about the ending of the word ORANGE.
