    Season 5 Episode 4 - Is it a Red Flag?!

    We are back on the roll with a new episode of The Esperience, this time we are joined by our lovely Chair of the Board, Anne-Linn. We had to jump in on one of the most common trends of these past few years on social media: Red flags! Between 2016 trends, biking rules, cultural icks, gay walking and basic human decency... well, you understand we switch up a lot! Oh also, if you feel personally attacked... well, maybe there's a reason. (xoxo)

    Season 5 Episode 2 - Switch Happens (ft. Aurélie)

    We are back with a new podcast episode to keep your spirits warm after exam season! Aurelie Joubert, ELC professor, walks us through code switching (or better, translanguaging), and her very interesting research on bilingual policy making at the university. How is translanguaging approached at the RUG, in our everyday life and within Esperia? What does the latest Rosalia’s album teach us? Most importantly, would your grandma be a cart if she had wheels?
