If anybody is dedicated to multilingualism, it is this guy right here! Founder of the Polyglot Conference, Richard Simcott joins us to explore how music opened doors to literally dozens of languages.
From Eurovision to unexpected Icelandic covers, this episode celebrates the melodies that make languages come alive. This Official Bard of Cornwall shares his linguistic and musical insight and talks us through a very multilingual mixtape.
Thank you, Richard, for being the 50th guest on the Languages through Music podcast!

LTM ft. Guillermo Manzano Fabre
At The Polyglot Gathering in Prague a couple of years back, I met mi hermano, multilingual language coach and educator Guillermo Manzano-Fabre. Growing up in Germany, Guillermo speaks Spanish, German, Italian, English, French, Mandarin, Swahili, and Farsi. From Cuban classics and French hip-hop to Swahili beats and Chinese rap, this conversation explores how music accelerates language learning, deepens cultural understanding, and builds confidence beyond the classroom.

LTM ft. Ife Thompson
Barrister and language justice activist Ife Thompson, founder of the Black British English podcast and BLAM UK, joins LTM to explore language, power, and resistance. From Black British English and Creoles to Yoruba and music as memory, this episode unpacks why language is central to identity, justice, and liberation.
In this episode, Ife traces her journey into linguistic justice through Black history, radical thought, and lived experience, challenging the idea that Creole languages are anything less than complete systems of culture, memory, and autonomy.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in language justice, Black history, decolonisation, and the radical idea that how we speak is deeply tied to how free we are.
