Description

Do you enjoy listening to podcasts, but don’t have anyone to discuss them with?  Do you like the idea of a book club, but can’t commit to finishing the book each month?  Join the University Branch Podcast Club to engage in conversation about podcasts on a variety of topics.  Each month we’ll have a topic and a short list of podcast episodes to listen to.  At the meeting we will discuss those episodes and the themes within them.

This meeting will be held online via Zoom.  You must register for this program to receive an email invite with the link to the meeting.

The topic for August’s meeting is Language.  We’ll be discussing the following podcast episodes:

  • "What's the Deal With Accents", from the Stuff You Should Know podcast, 1 hour, 2 minutes

  • "Lost in Translation", from the Hidden Brain podcast, 35 minutes

  • "America's Next Top Word", from the Every Little Thing podcast, 29 minutes

  • "Idioms Pt 1", from the Shmanners podcast, 37 minutes

You can find all of these podcast episodes here: Language Playlist
