Rough Translation New Years Message

As we head toward a new year, former Rough Translation host Gregory Warner reflects on "goal disengagement" — letting go of past goals, rather than coming up with New Year resolutions. He recommends three of his favorite episodes aligned with this theme for Rough Translation fans and new listeners. Episodes are in the show notes below.

One of my fav podcasts. I wait patiently to every one of them. Decide on the exact moment I’ll listen to it, just like a ritual. Please, don’t ever stop.

Fascinating cross-cultural stories

First app review I’ve ever written. These stories are fascinating and eye-opening. If you’re interested in sociocultural issues and stories (racism, class, women’s rights and opportunities) and other cultures and countries, this podcast is for you. Fascinating but genuinely entertaining - this is not a lecture but really interesting, surprising stories.
