    About this Episode

    Have you heard the term ‘dying languages’? In our third episode we discuss what this means and how important it is to protect them. We also question how crucial the spoken word is to our cultural identity with the fabulous Susie Dent and linguist and journalist Alex Rawlings. Assumptions, lazy travelling and our resistance to embrace other cultures, we look at what this means for us and what we can do to stop it.
