April was a month for writing about languages, libraries, and podcasts. Here’s what you might’ve missed—and thanks for stopping by!
The Evolution of Libraries
“How are libraries coping in the age of instant information access, and what is there still to discover at your nearest library? Libraries are far from following the same path as Blockbuster.”
Are Podcasters Resurrecting the Satanic Panic?
“Podcasts contain interesting and useful, sometimes first-hand information about various topics. Podcasts can also contain inaccuracies and falsehoods, or outright false news that gets picked up and widely syndicated.”
The Crossroads in South Africa’s Language Gap
“Whichever language you choose to learn, you’ll find similar teachers and programmes for all 12 languages. If learning from shows and movies is your choice instead, head to a streaming platform for local series, or download subtitles for movies from websites like OpenSubtitles.com.”
