More Than an Accent explores how the way we speak can unfairly shape how others see us. From international research to New Zealand-based studies, we unpack the deep biases people face based on their accents - whether they are seen as less intelligent, less credible, or less competent. With personal reflections, light humour, and a strong message of inclusion, this episode reminds us that everyone deserves to be heard for what they say, not how they sound. Because in a truly inclusive world, no one gets left behind - no matter their voice.
