Each week, Akankshya discusses various ideologies associated with languages and words; and their implication in everyday life. Akankshya created this podcast to find a ground for discussing polarising nerdy opinions. Also, her hair is not blue in reality as she wishes not to be homeless. Linguists and language geeks, this one is for y'all!

Tasting Translated Fiction
Translated fiction gives us the VIP treatment of armchair travelling by providing us with different approaches to story writing. Each language has its unique way of unravelling stories. With us today, we have a YouTuber who is famous for his book reviews of translated fiction. He is also a journalist and is my sole inspiration for reading contemporary translated novels. From, Books and Bao (https://booksandbao.com/), please welcome, WILL HEATH!

Today’s episode is called The Linguist and The Polyglot, where we discuss how advantageous it is for a linguist to be a polyglot. Linguists are, more often than not, thought to be students or professionals who learn many languages. While this is a misguided assumption, it isn’t rare for linguists to be polyglots.
With us today, we have Dr Chinmay Dharurkar, a professor of Linguistics and Translation Studies. Moreover, he is a polyglot and speaks several Indian languages. Listen to him talk about his journey of becoming a polyglot and how it has helped him as a linguist.
