Sounds Familiar: #2: Bad Translations →
[ Listen | iTunes | RSS ]
We all know a bad translation when we see one… or do we? Translations of all sorts can, at best, ensure our shared survival. And at worst, mistranslations have had varied, far-reaching and often disastrous effects, as basic as “all your base are belong to us” or as serious as botched postwar food aid.
This time it’s all about translation. What is it? Is it an art or a...

Join me for the inaugural episode of Sounds Familiar as I trace the beat, and its...

…sorry everyone, I may be spamming a bit this week because the first episode of my podcast will be available this week. I’ll try to keep it to a bearable minimum, but please know that, in addition to merely shameless self-promotion, I’m really excited about and proud of this...
