Episode 2: p & b

In this episode, we talk about the stop plosive consonant pair [p] and [b], also known as bilabial plosives, “exploding” consonants made with both lips. In the course of our chat, we talk about twinned or “geminate” consonants, vowels vs. consonants, “the river of speech,” voice onset time (VOT), aspiration, and other topics!
