Today’s episode comes from Subtitle, a podcast series all about language and the people who speak them.

Irish is among Europe’s oldest languages. It’s a near miracle that anyone speaks it today. Host Patrick Cox talks with online Irish teacher Mollie Guidera, whose students include a Kentucky farmer who speaks Irish to his horses, and with Irish scholar Jim McCloskey, who developed a love of the language when he spent a summer living with Irish speakers. Irish is changing fast, with far more of its speakers learning it as a second language, while the native-speaking population declines.
