Divided by a Common Language?

Versão em português: http://georgeroberts.blogspot.com/2011/09/ingles-vs-americana.html.

An excellent podcast featuring a British journalist living in the U.S. and an American college professor who teaches theoretical linguistics at a British university. Married to an Englishman, she pays close attention to the differences between the dialects and notices that her accent has been changing over the years.

Because this podcast opens in Windows Media Player, you can slow it down. Just click on settings. Below, you can adjust the speed from 0.5 (very slow: the speaker seems to be drunk) to 2 (for masochists - very fast).

Here's the link to the podcast:
