Christine is joined by Mollie of the Instagram account IrishwithMollie, for an in-depth exploration of the Irish language and its influence on English. Why don't Irish people give a direct yes or no? What's the craic with their ‘th’? And why are they such great storytellers. Listen right until the end of the episode as Mollie has a gift to share with you all! Christine also talks about having been called a 'wokerati' for calling out accent bias, the progression of the podcast and her plans for the future: furthering the Connected Communication mission - to unite us all in celebration of our differences.
