We're excited to be part of the broader linguistics podcast community and bring you behind the scenes on other shows!
In this interview, Lauren sat down with Daniel Midgley of the Talk the Talk radio show/podcast to talk about how Daniel got into linguistics, what linguists and radio producers have in common, his favourite linguistics resources, and how linguists can be better at engaging with the media and the public.
Lauren and Daniel got to hang out as part of the workshop 'Talking the Talkley' that Lauren organized for the Australian Linguistics Society annual conference in December (the Talkley is the ALS award for communicating linguistics, a pun on the Walkley awards for Australian journalism).
Talking the Talkley workshop summary:
The rise of ‘on demand’ media like podcasts and content platforms like The Conversation means that linguists are able to share their expert knowledge with a wider audience than ever before. This workshop brings together people who have worked to bring linguistics into the popular consciousness in different media.
