How are the Kardashians and Lena Dunham changing women's speech?

I heard a nice little piece on the radio over the summer whilst driving my kids to Fountain's Abbey - they were thrilled to be listening to Radio 4 ;)

If you have a spare ten minutes have a listen. It describes how the phenomenon of 'Vocal Fry' has increased recently, led by certain celebrities. You can find it here: Vocal Fry on Woman's Hour

You can also listen to some examples of vocal fry on youtube too, if you have a hunt around.
