    Ep. 2.1 - An Teanga: The Tongue

    About 40,000 people speak the Irish language; 200 speak Eastern Band Cherokee. Both languages are considered endangered in their homeland.    In this episode, Dr. Ben Frey of the Eastern Band Cherokee Nation and Dr. Misha Becker, linguistics professors at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, share their experience of passing the state's native tongue on to the next generation — whether through Motorola smartphone software or hip hop compilations.   To learn more about Josh "Rowdy" Rowsey's hip hop workshops at Cherokee's New Kituwah Academy, tune into the mini-documentary "Cherokee Hip Hop" or Rowsey's TedxTalk, "The World is Yours: The Importance of Hip Hop Culture."   ------- Music: "Old Mother Flanagan:" American/Irish Traditional Tune; Performed by Chris Erswell; Courtesy of Chris Erswell, Internet Archive.

    Ep. 1 - An Droichead: The Bridge

    Few people stop to ask themselves what happens to a wind turbine blade at the end of its life. The Re-Wind Network, a team of architects, engineers and sociologists from schools across Ireland and the U.S., have teamed up to answer that question with bridges and blueprints. Angie Nagle from University College Cork and Zoe Zhang from Georgia Institute of Technology share a few words on how the Re-Wind Network is transforming Ireland's greenways and the future of wind energy. ------- Music: "Old Mother Flanagan:" American/Irish Traditional Tune; Performed by Chris Erswell; Courtesy of Chris Erswell, Internet Archive.
