Listen in as I talk to Dan Shalit Kenig, an EU-accredited conference interpreter based in Tel Aviv with a very interesting biography. And a knack for technology: Together with a programmer, he has developed Intragloss, a glossary application focussed on making your preparation dead-easy.

In this episode, I talk to developer Reg Martin, the person behind Glossary Assistant for Android. Glossary Assistant is an app that Reg created for his wife, who works as a conference interpreter. If you want to get started using it, tune in and bring your tablet.

Martina is a translator based in Milan, who has travelled quite a bit. She has also come up with a great idea for you to tell the world about what you're doing on your computer or tablet: decals.

Josie Holley and Joshua Goldsmith are dyed-in-the-wool tablet interpreters. Their final thesis at the University of Geneva covered the use of tablets in consecutive interpreting. Listen in as we geek out about tablets, styli, apps and their research project.

Ewandro tells me how he made it from fitness instructor to A-level interpreter, from Brasil to Monterey to Geneva. We take a deep dive into remote participation at ITU meetings in Geneva and how both interpreters and delegates adapt. Ewandro also shares valuable thoughts for both novice and experienced interpreters.

This is the first podcast episode ever recorded live with a guest in the same room, and it was great. I chatted with Elisabet Tiselius, aka Tulkur, about how she became an interpreter and an interpreter teacher, about the cooperation between interpreter schools and the EU and about her PhD. Listen in for interesting insight into deliberate practice and how you can become your best interpreter self.
