Pods Like Us Chronicles 2
It's a little bit more produced than last week's first ever episode of the Chronicles episodes, so I would love to hear what people think of it. Does it work with the different segments? Are the musical interludes okay, or would a bit of electronica, rock, or something else have worked better? Does it matter? Technically there are six elements to this episode, and here they are; 00:00 Introduction 00:21 Podbites newsletter and Patreon updates 04:09 Postponed recording, experience kicks in 09:43 A conversation with Andreea Coscai about the new eurowaves.eu dedicated website 16:30 A conversation with Tobiloba Suliamon about the new translation software AuTrans, which is particularly useful for transcribing different African languages and dialects 26:03 More Pods Like Us updates and show outro

Not included in the episode, put placed here to make Jsmes Cridland (a Londoner) of Podnews laugh, is how Marv on the way back to the hotel after the meet up completely forgot that you have to stay to the right on stairs and escalators. That is despite him only a day or so before speaking with someone about how you have to stay to the right.
