In the first podcast in a new series focusing on translation, we talk to Susan Harris and Samantha Schnee from magazine Words Without Borders about how translation works, why it’s important and how it has the potential to bring the world together.
These interviews were recorded at London Book Fair – apologies for the background noise of intense hubbub.
Hosted by Simon Jones, writer and Digital Marketing Manager at the National Centre for Writing.
