E38 | Irregular Words with Dr. Danielle Colenbrander

Welcome to another episode of TLP! This is a fantastic episode where Dr. Danielle Colenbrander breaks down for us irregular words and what we know about these words from research.

Dr. Colenbrander is a post-doctoral research fellow at Macquarie University and the lead author of two recent articles we discuss in the episode.

A big thanks to my new co-producer, Patrick Wells who helped make this episode possible.
