Not Quite Magic
Not Quite Magic is a podcast about interpreters. We interview interpreters (aka, translators who work with spoken or signed words) about what they do: their joys, their struggles, and how they do what often seems like magic. Elena Langdon, an industry-veteran with over 20 years of experience in the field, talks to professionals who are on the frontlines of this work every day - the sometimes hidden experts in a fascinating and essential line of work.
