Greetings all! Sorry for the radio silence, finishing this Languages through Music book is taking up all the time I have when I'm not teaching :D How are you doing? What are your favourite languagey/musical books? Here are some of mine: The African Imagination in Music by Kofi Agawu Speaking Neanderthals by Stephen Mithen Jazz of Physics by Stephon Alexander Has anyone here written a book and lived to tell the tale? 😅 Please share if so!

In this chat we travel to Sesame Street, we keep Portland weird, and we learn about some of the books Kathy has translated, including The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living (a New York Times bestseller), and Renegade Rhymes: Rap Music, Narrative, and Knowledge in Taiwan. Kathy is a super accomplished translator, a dancer, and a deejay who has a lot to teach us about the importance of staying kurious. Xie xie, Kathy!! #kathykurious #translator #linguist #deejay #polyglot
