    LTM ft. Guillermo Manzano Fabre

    At The Polyglot Gathering in Prague a couple of years back, I met mi hermano, multilingual language coach and educator Guillermo Manzano-Fabre. Growing up in Germany, Guillermo speaks Spanish, German, Italian, English, French, Mandarin, Swahili, and has started studying Farsi. From Cuban classics and French hip-hop to Swahili beats and Chinese rap, this conversation explores how music accelerates language learning, deepens cultural understanding, and builds confidence beyond the classroom.

    LTM ft. Ife Thompson

    Barrister and language justice activist Ife Thompson, founder of the Black British English podcast and BLAM UK, joins LTM to explore language, power, and resistance. From Black British English and Creoles to Yoruba and music as memory, this episode unpacks why language is central to identity, justice, and liberation. In this episode, Ife traces her journey into linguistic justice through Black history, radical thought, and lived experience, challenging the idea that Creole languages are anything less than complete systems of culture, memory, and autonomy. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in language justice, Black history, decolonisation, and the radical idea that how we speak is deeply tied to how free we are. #languagesthroughmusic #ifethompson #languagejustice #criminalandhumanrights #barrister #creole #blackbritishenglish

    LTM ft. Kathy Kurious

    I met Kathy Kurious at The Polyglot Conference in Taipei, in November 2025, and we immediately connected over a love of music, hip-hop in particular, and, of course, languages. In this chat we travel to Sesame Street, we keep Portland weird, and we learn about some of the books Kathy has translated, including The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living (a New York Times bestseller), and Renegade Rhymes: Rap Music, Narrative, and Knowledge in Taiwan. Kathy is a super accomplished translator, a dancer, and a deejay who has a lot to teach us about the importance of staying kurious. Xie xie, Kathy!! #kathykurious #translator #linguist #deejay #polyglot

    LTM ft. DJ Passionfruit (Tana Yonas)

    In this episode, I got to connect with the amazing Tana Yonas, also known as DJ Passionfruit — a music selector, educator, writer, researcher, and global explorer of sound. From Ethiopia to LA, Mexico City to Tokyo, Tana’s journey moves through cultures, languages, record stores, and deep musical lineages. We talk about home, heritage, cities you can hear before you arrive, analog culture, the magic of taxi radios around the world, and how music becomes a passport — a way to travel, learn, and remember. We also dig into Freedom Frequencies, Tana’s video series; her family’s intergenerational connection to music, film, and documentation; and why Arabic poetry moves her so much. An analog evangelist extraordinaire, Tana will have you logging off and tuning in. @passionfruit.wav Join Languages through Music on Skool!
