This is the illusionist in which I, Helen Salzman, regret letting language into the group chat.

In this episode we hear from two of my favourite podcasters, Laurie Martinez and James Kim,

whose shows Meja and Moonface are autobiographical fiction told in multiple languages.

I was really interested to learn how they use different languages to tell their stories

and how they navigate it when it's a language they don't speak themselves.

This conversation was originally part of a little series of talks I did with podcasters

for Scripts College.

If you find the Scripts College feed on your pod app, you can hear all three of the talks.

There's another with the audio artist Phoebe Unter and Ariel Meja and one with just

me talking about the future of language.

And there's also the full version of this one where we cover additional topics including

how to record sexy audio.

Not something I've had occasion to try yet in my podcast in career.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this conversation and warning.

There are a couple of swears on with the show.

Hi, I'm Laurie Martinez.

I am the founder of Studio Agenda and it's a multi-lingual podcast company based in Paris.

We specialise in producing podcasts in English, French and Spanish and now many other languages

we're up to 15 now with all the projects that we have ongoing and we do anything from translation

and a lot of adaptation culturally working with bilingual producers around the world to

raise voices across cultures.

So that's kind of our motto.
