Earlier this year, Francisco starred in a short video that went viral. In it, he used a couple of classic Australianisms to say good-bye. So, naturally, being the last episode of the year, I invited him on the show to talk about it. Francisco reflects on his shock when first arriving in Australia and gives some great advice for others when arriving. I hope you enjoy this episode and it is hooroo for another year from me, Glen.

I've always been thinking of ways to make learning fun for you guys. Just like when I make reaction videos, I know it'll be fun to learn English with movies as well. Black Water: Abyss is an Australian movie released in 2020. It follows a group of five people who decided to explore a cave while little did they know there is a gigantic crocodile lurking within. Yes, there will be croc attacks, of course! But besides the angry croc thrashing and swishing a human around, this movie is teeming with Australianisms that you can learn about. 00:55 Summary of the movie 01:59 English Expressions 05:08 Connected Speech 07:17 Spoken English 08:36 Aussie Slang 11:02 Listening Comprehension So, did you understand what Cash said?

Cosmic Psychos have been a mainstay on the Australian punk scene for more than three decades.Their humour, wit and sarcastic nature, coupled with what can only be described as Australianisms found within thier music has made Cosmic Psychos the ultimate feel good party band, a measure of success that is sure to continue with the band's upcoming album Mountain Of Piss which will be released n July 9.Guitarist Macka joined HEAVY for a frank and open (as if you would expect anything different) discussion on the album and much more.We start by asking if Mountain Of Piss is what fans would expect or if, in fact, Cosmic Psychos and their music has mellowed with age."No, no melow," Macka exclaimed. "I actually think there's bits of it which are probably as flat out, if not more flat out - maybe not in tempo,just with the riffs and beats and stuff. It's pretty flat out. There's enough of that on there to keep people happy and there's a couple that are different but they come from other areas that are pretty pure so that works out too."To date only the single Sin Bin has been released, so we put it to Macka if that song is a good representation of the rest of the album."Some of it," he teased. "There's three or four that are like that one but then it goes into stuff that would hopefully make Chad Morgan proud. It sort of changes up a bit in different parts of the record. I's come out really well."In the full interview, Macka discusses the rest of the album and some of the songs on it, the importance of maintaining a sense of humour with your music, the Australian colloquialisms that permeate the music of Cosmic Psychos, their streamed concert on Thursday July 1, the upcoming tour and more.

The next generation of consoles will be on us in just weeks, and this time around it's a little different. With COVID-19 disrupting manufacturing and shipping, a lot of people are going to miss the first wave of this generation, so this week on the podcast we talk about the almighty fear of missing out, or FOMO. We also delve into all the games you'll be playing in November (though we do mention Cyberpunk 2077, which has just been pushed into December now), and we talk about Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, one of the real gems and delights to emerge from 2020. Finally, we are joined by special guest, Lachlan, to discuss his newly-released, and super-fanservicey Max's Bigger Bust - the sequel to Max's Big Bust, and one of the few games that combines anime art style and Australianisms. It's a hilarious game, we promise. Thanks as always for tuning in, and we'll see you next month!  

The Australian native went from being a guy who could not stay on a roster to becoming one of the best closers in the game in 2019. This is a fun episode for me as my fellow Aussie and I go back and forth on our journey to the US as young players, the Australianisms and dive into what it was that turned him into an establish Major League closer! 

This week I chat to one of the most-said names in comedy... it's Phil Wang (@PhilNWang)! Born in Stoke-on-Trent, raised in Malaysia, 2 years at boarding school in Brunei and then doing his A-Levels in Bath before attending Cambridge. Phil's been a child of The Empire pretty much the whole time but he doesn't feel like he particularly belongs anywhere. We chat about quitting smoking, Australianisms, the growing Asian comedy audience and his first ever gig doing Russell Peters' jokes at a high school drama night. Terrifying.  If you're a fan of people chatting about Britain, get around his new show Wangsplaining which is streaming now on BBCRadio4. He's also got a great podcast with our first ever guest and good friend Pierre Novellie called BudPod (@TheBudPod)! Please subscribe to The Union Jack Off with Daniel Muggleton, follow us on Twitter @TheUnionJackOff or get in touch at theunionjackoff@gmail.com If you like Daniel Muggleton (@danmuggleton), you can watch his new special 'Let's Never Hang Out' right now on Amazon Prime.

When a language is shifting from being spoken by a whole community to being spoken only by older people, it’s crucial to get the kids engaged with the language again. But kids don’t always appreciate the interests of their elders, especially when global popular culture seems more immediately exciting. One idea? Make stories from pop culture, featuring characters like Dumbledore and Batman, but in the local language. In this episode, your host Gretchen McCulloch interviews Dr Ake Nicholas, a linguist and native speaker of Cook Islands Māori, the lesser known relative of New Zealand Māori. Ake combines her her work as a Lecturer at Massey University, Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa, University of New Zealand, with having her students create resources for young Cook Islands Maori learners, especially video stories from pop culture. We also talk about Kōhanga Reo, or language nests, a method for language revitalization that was first developed for New Zealand Māori and has spread around the world, and the social situations around Cook Islands Māori and New Zealand Māori. This month’s bonus episode is about how people in the media know how to pronounce names correctly. It’s an interview with Tiger Webb, who makes the pronunciation guide for the ABC, recorded at our liveshow in Sydney. We get enthusiastic about words, style guides, emoji and more! Lauren and Tiger also quiz Gretchen on whether she’s learned any Australianisms on her visit to Australia, and Gretchen fires back with a few Canadianisms of her own.

There are certain things that human societies, and therefore languages, have in common. We have the same basic inventory of body parts, which affect both the kinds of movements we can make to produce words and the names we have for our meat-selves. We’re all living on a watery ball of rock and fire, orbiting a large ball of gas. And we all arrived on this planet by means of other humans, and form societies to help each other stick around. Sometimes, we even bring into existence further tiny humans. In this episode, your hosts Lauren Gawne and Gretchen McCulloch get enthusiastic about the special vocabulary that exists across languages for people you’re related to. Kinship terms are a fascinating area of commonality and variation: on the one hand, all languages seem to have ways of distinguishing family (both chosen and biological) from non-family. But on the other hand, there’s a wide degree of variation in the exact relationships that languages have words for, and this provides an interesting window into which relationships a culture thinks of as important. Languages can split up or lump together kinship relationships by age, generation, gender, clan, marriage, linguistic history, honorific extension, personal choice, and more. We also get into why words like “mama” and “papa” are so similar across languages, the surprisingly recent history of the word “sibling,” and the current rise in offshoots like “nibling” and “pibling.” This month’s bonus episode was a Q&A session from when Gretchen was in Melbourne with Lauren, and it’s available in both the normal audio form and a surprise video version! (We were testing out the camera situation ahead of the upcoming gesture video episode.) Find out about how ears work, fun linguistic games, whether some languages change faster than others, the Australianisms that Gretchen has recently learned, and a behind-the-scenes look into how the liveshows went and future Lingthusiasm plans.

This episode (minisode kind of, though it's still like 40 min long so not that mini?) is a little different. If you have not, first listen to episode 34 (part 1) to get to know Abbey and Sam and then come back and listen to this chat, which is the second half of my floor sitting Hobart conversation with Abbey and Sam from last year. We talk about + internet friendships, how we met each other and became friends + how we navigate internet personas and IRL personas (spoiler we dont have any boundaries between them, and we all have a lot of feelings) + sam tells us about her first business making t-shirts as a 16 year old + we have a pee break (which I edited out because it got too weird to share on the internet) + Australianisms vs Americanisms - how our voices have changed over time (Sam and Ani are American and lived or are living in Aus) + Our embarrassing nicknames from different points in our lives

Kylie Travers talks about how to leverage influencers for your cause by developing strong, long term relationships with them, being specific about what you want and need in that relationship, setting up agreements to work together, and speaking the truth and sharing your stories. Along the way, you'll learn about Tall Poppy Syndrome, and be exposed to a good lot of Australianisms, which will make your heart soar. And you'll be smarter for it.
