Over the past year, during the Covid-19 pandemic, we’ve been working with a group of people from all over the world, teaching them to podcast and helping them to tell personal stories about the experience of moving from one place to another. Everyone who took part was brand new to podcasting, and most of the episodes were made without any professional equipment, using mobile phones and free editing software. The results of this course are seven episodes: each one about a very different migration experience, and each person bringing their own style and personality. We hope you love them as much as we do.

From Lisa:
I am a PhD student at the Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg in Germany. I study the history of the German language and I am especially interested in graphematic change and the influence of animacy on different aspects of language. Together with a colleague, I write a blog about language that you can find at https://derzwiebel.wordpress.com/. Right now I am also working on launching a podcast about the origins of the German writing system. You can find updates about the podcast project on Twitter. My personal Twitter account is @ladida_lisa.
