The World in Words 19: English-only golf, Orwell’s blog and writing in a foreign language
Two newsy items top the podcast: Wasilla, Alaska, hometown of John McCain’s running mate Sarah Palin, and the LGPA’s decision to ban profesional female golfers who don’t speak English. Then we have a report on George Orwell’s “blog” followed by a segment on two Bosnian novelists who write in foreign languages. Finally, we wrap our ears around everyone’s favorite Icelandic insult.
