Recorded live at the International Translation Forum in Riyadh, this episode brings Eddie Arrieta together with Adam Wooten, Professor of Translation and Localization Management at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.

Over the course of their conversation—set against Saudi Arabia’s visionary push into language education—Adam shares his first impressions of the Kingdom, the new online master’s program he directs, and the career pathways that today’s translators, interpreters, and LSP professionals must navigate in an AI‑driven landscape.
