If you don't know Jonathan yet, you're in for a treat. Find out about his PhD and his upcoming book "The successful interpreter" - and many other things, including monkeys, church interpreters and chocolate teapots. Quotes I liked - very shareable!

The word is a neologism and portmanteau derived from "broadcast" and "pod" from the success of the iPod, as audio podcasts are often listened to on portable media players. Broadcasters, like the BBC, produce content for the airwaves. Once aired, that content is put online and can be subscribed to as a podcast. This way, you don't have to wait for an episode of your favourite programme, you can just download it and listen to it when you have time. Podcasts are not a new phenomenon, they have been produced for years. But recently, there has been a spike in popul

In this first instalment of the LangFM podcast, I talk to fellow technology enthusiast Barry Slaughter Olsen. Barry is an interpreter, interpreter trainer at MIIS, General Manager of Multilingual at ZipDX and one of the co-founders of InterpretAmerica.
