Our podcast is truly bilingual, and we work hard at making it accessible to both English and Portuguese speaking audiences around the globe! Jamie Lee Andreson hosts interviews with Brazilian leaders, artists and thinkers in Portuguese and together with translation intern Amanda Talbot, transcribes the full interviews. From there, we work together to translate the interview word for word, making the material available on our website for pedagogical purposes and personal interest. Jamie then selects important moments from the interview and records an English language synopsis of the episode, so that our work is available in English and Portuguese in both audio and written forms. Production interns Madeleine Tenny and Belle Hattingh assist in the creation of marketing materials, website content and media engagement to share the episode to our audiences.
