[Spotify VIDEO] Controversy in Audiovisual Translation - Narcos

We’re back with yet another conversation that I was eager to share with you. Today I’m talking with Ana Osorio, who was born in Venezuela to a Colombian family. She was a little girl living in Medellin during the Pablo Escobar era. Because of that, she’s very familiar with the "Paisa" dialect.

While pursuing an Advanced Master’s Degree in Translation and Interpreting studies at Macquarie University in Australia, the topic of her thesis was, you guessed it, the Narcos series that premiered on Netflix in 2015 and focused on Escobar’s ascent and descent in the late 1970s through the early 1990s. So Ana and I sat down to talk about what she researched while writing her thesis and what her impressions were about the first two seasons of Narcos. And considering the topic of our conversation, this episode is marked as explicit for strong language, so your discretion is advised.
