The Overlady Reads Oathbringer, Part Three!

Y'all's laughter is infectious, also, baby touchdown, that should not be funny, but it is.

1. Are you guys from different parts of the UK (or even different neighborhoods)? I'm not familiar enough with the different accents to know if this is a regional thing (or even a neighborhood thing). But I did notice the Overlady does some th-fronting whereas the Overlord does not. Ex.: from 19:30 to 20:30, Ben says "theory" "things in threes", and Lucy says: "fing of frees feory" ("thing of threes theory"). She also says "ovver" (for "other"), "fink" ("think") etc.

2. You guys recreating the Azish's progressively more intense reactions to Dalinar's gifts reminded me of this wonderful bit of sports commentary (downhill biking; warning: some "foul" language):

3. That discussion at the end reminded me of the Bechdel-Wallace test. The Stormlight Archive isn't a movie and given its scope, it'd be hard for it to fail the test (it's such a low standard anyway).

Glad you liked it! I thought was one of the funniest episodes we've done so far (Shocking considering the subject)

We are from different parts of the UK. I was born up north but moved down south when I was young, meaning I have a weird in-between accent (I also watched a lot of American TV growing up and that definitely had an affect). Lucy has a more Cambridgeshire accent as that is where she is from.

But yes, British accents are diverse and varied. You aren't wrong when you say two neighbourhoods right next to each other can have different accents.

Thanks, this is very interesting! Both accents are lovely, by the way.
