I was traveling to my family in Pennsylvania this morning and a habit of mine is to listen to informative and interesting podcasts during my hour and a half drive.
In today's podcast queue I had several episodes from The Public Speaker - Quick & Dirty Tips for Improving your Communication Skills.
I must admit I oftentimes find myself mispronouncing certain words (even names -- there is another great episode on that topic too); sometimes to my embarrassment.
I found the following podcast about proper pronunciation interesting, informative and enjoyable:

In the first few moments, the host admits she is a born and raised New Jersey girl and if you are from the East Coast her comment about potato and tomato are spot on (and got a little giggle out of me

).
I listened to several episodes on my ride up -- they were an easy listen and some of the tips will certainly help out when going to your next networking meeting! Happy Listening.
