Throughout the Draculae miniseries, about the Swedish and Icelandic translations of Dracula that played fast and loose with the original text, I've been wondering a couple of questions: why are cover versions of songs and remakes of films so normal and acceptable, whereas cover versions in book form cause such a stir? And do these Scandinavian Draculae count as fan fiction? And if not, why not? Fansplaining.com's Elizabeth Minkel explains what fan fiction can mean.Visit theallusionist.org/transformation for more information plus a transcript of the episode. And though this is the fourth and last part of the Draculae miniseries, it is more inspired by than directly connected to the other episodes, so you don't have to listen to them beforehand. But do listen to them, they're very fun and intriguing!Content note: this episode contains some references to (but not descriptions of) sexual content and sex slavery. There is also mention of J.K. Rowling.Sign up at theallusionist.org/donate to fund the continuing existence of this independent podcast.

What if your child's future success depends less on what they know and more on how they connect with others? In this episode of the Raising Smart Kids in a Digital World series, I explore relational intelligence and why strong, authentic relationships are essential for learning, resilience, and personal growth. I explain how children develop their understanding of trust, respect, communication, and connection through their earliest relationships—especially those they observe at home. Through practical examples, I highlight the powerful role parents play in modeling healthy interactions and creating a foundation of honesty, respect, and meaningful conversation.

Gavin Brookes provides insights into the language that people use when they talk about dementia. Language plays an important part in making sense of a health condition. In this episode we cover a wide range of topics - from stigma tohumour. Gavin has some very concrete messages for all of us - whether you have lived experience of dementia, work in social care, or do not know that much about the condition yet. Dr Gavin Brookes is a UKRI Future Leader Fellow in the Department of Linguistics and English Language at Lancaster University (UK). His research uses corpus linguistic, critical and multimodal approaches to discourse analysis in order to examine how language and image are used to representhealth and illness.

Singlish is often seen as a defining part of Singapore's identity. From "lah" and "lor" to uniquely local phrases, it weaves its way through conversations across homes, schools, and workplaces. But is the Singlish we speak today the same as the one our grandparents grew up with? Linguists say the language has been evolving for decades, shaped by changing education policies, shifting language preferences, and the gradual decline of dialect use in Singapore. As older expressions disappear and new ones emerge, some features of traditional Singlish may already be fading away. So what exactly has changed? Are younger Singaporeans losing parts of a linguistic heritage, or is this simply the natural evolution of a living language? On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Tan Ying Ying, Associate Professor of Linguistics and Multilingual Studies at the Nanyang Technological University, to find out more. The Agenda: From Ah Gong to Gen Z, can you still speak your grandparents' Singlish?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you watch sports, whether the recent NBA finals or the ongoing World Cup matches, you may have noticed that the athletes aren't the only ones putting on a show. The announcers seem to be playing a beautiful game of their own, capturing the excitement and play-by-play of the game in a unique blend of sentence structure, elocution, and pitch. Linguists have even given this speech pattern a name: sports announcer talk. Sociolinguist and dialectologist Valerie Fridland joins Host Flora Lichtman to break down the patterns and rules of this register. Guest: Dr. Valerie Fridland is a professor of linguistics at the University of Nevada, Reno, and author of “Why We Talk Funny: The Real Story Behind Our Accents.” Other episodes you may enjoy: The Art And Science Of Trash Talk What The Sigma Is Algospeak?

Many mysteries accompany the revelations that Powers of Darkness, the Icelandic and Swedish versions of Dracula, are not direct translations of Bram Stoker's original, but stories that significantly differ in character names, plot and runtime. Like: did Bram Stoker write it himself, to publish some raunchy content that British censors would forbid? Was Powers of Darkness based on his early drafts? And did he really not copyright Dracula in the USA was that a deliberate ruse? Welllll... brace yourself for ole thrill-destroyer Zaltzman to pop your balloons of excitement. Searching for the truth among all the rumours and texts are producer Iris Ishichita of the Powers of Darkness podcast, and Will Trimble and Hans Corneel de Roos, who orchestrated English translations of respectively the Swedish and Icelandic Powers of Darknesses.

What if the key to raising resilient, capable kids isn't academic achievement, but emotional intelligence? In this first episode of the Raising Smart Kids in a Digital World, I explore why emotional awareness is the foundation of emotional intelligence and ultimately learning itself. Through relatable parenting examples and real-life observations, I explain the difference between reacting to emotions and recognizing, naming, and managing them. You'll learn why toddlers can't develop emotional skills during meltdowns and how calm, connected moments create the best opportunities for teaching emotional awareness. Tune in to discover practical ways to observe, support, and strengthen your child's emotional intelligence from the inside out!Your task for the week: Check out your kids. Watch them in action.

In this episode of OffScript, Dash Arts' Artistic Director Josephine Burton is joined by Lynne Murphy, Professor of Linguistics at the University of Sussex, author of The Prodigal Tongue, and the American voice behind the long-running blog Separated by a Common Language, for a wide-ranging and surprising conversation about the language we think we own.Josephine and Lynne trace English from its violent beginnings, a language forged through invasion, layered with the speech of Angles, Saxons and Normans, carrying the class fault lines of its Saxon-French inheritance all the way into the present, to the extraordinary global story of a tongue that has long since outgrown its origins. They explore how migration has always remade English from below, how empire exported it across the world, and what it means that English is now spoken by more people as a second language than as a first.They talk about language as soft power and who gets to wield it. About the difference between a language of place and a language of people. About the voraciousness of English, its restless appetite for new words, new rhythms, new speakers and why that hunger, far from diluting the language, is precisely what keeps it alive.The conversation finds its way into Our Public House, Dash Arts' new touring theatre production, a state-of-the-nation play set in a pub, born out of three years of travelling England and listening to over 700 people talk about the country they want to live in. Because if English is a language that belongs to everyone who speaks it, then Englishness might work the same way — and that's exactly what Our Public House is asking. Dead Language Society can be found here: www.deadlanguagesociety.com Lynne Murphy's blog can be found here: https://separatedbyacommonlanguage.blogspot.com Our Public House is currently touring England. Find out more at https://www.dasharts.org.uk/our-public-house This episode is part of Dash Arts' Albion series — an ongoing exploration of what it means to be English today.Our intro music is Fakiiritanssi by Marouf Majidi Hosted on Acast.

Stewart Alsop sat down with Michael Shackelford to discuss their experiences building applications through vibe coding—the practice of using AI to create software without traditional programming expertise. Stewart, who runs the AI Whispers community in Buenos Aires and hosts the Crazy Wisdom podcast (with over 660 interviews), shared how he went from teaching people prompt engineering to building his own video conferencing software as a Riverside.fm replacement, while Michael opened up about his year-long journey creating Genrupt Inc, an AI-powered content generation tool for e-commerce sellers. The conversation covered everything from the decline in quality of Claude's reasoning capabilities and how Chinese companies used distillation attacks to copy Anthropic's models, to the importance of spaced repetition systems for managing knowledge in the age of LLMs, with both sharing battle-tested prompting strategies like asking AI to "explain it to me in genius terms" and using deep research queries to reverse engineer how competitors build their products.Show Notes:- Dan Martell's book "Buy Back Your Time" was mentioned as one of the best business books for thinking about life and business- Check out John Vervaeke's "Awakening from the Meaning Crisis" for understanding relevance realization and why AI fundamentally cannot determine what's relevant to humans without being toldTimestamps00:00 Michael discusses being exhausted from getting his app ready for launch, working nonstop with AI to prepare landing page for podcast traffic driving beta signups05:00 Stewart explains starting AI Whispers in Buenos Aires after leaving OpenAI vendor company, meeting early adopters like Torin who was building mind-reading EEG technology10:00 Discussion of how corporations resist AI adoption due to political games and job security fears while some companies use AI as excuse for pandemic-era layoffs15:00 Stewart describes teaching workshops on using LLMs as linguistic tools rather than coding tools, noting technical people often lack humanities background needed for prompting20:00 Explaining chatbot wrappers, API calls, and how Anthropic's reasoning quality declined after Chinese distillation attacks copied their secret sauce developed with philosophers25:00 Technical discussion of model training, fine-tuning versus RAG for new information, and different approaches to updating AI knowledge beyond initial training30:00 Stewart describes building podcast recording software to replace expensive Riverside, struggling with syncing audio and video files across different computer clocks35:00 Discussion of critical factors in vibe coding, discovering unknown technical requirements, and how AIs don't automatically reveal missing information40:00 Stewart's reverse engineering process using deep research function to study competitors' hiring and technology stacks, separating planning agents from coding agents45:00 Prompting techniques including "explain like I know everything" and using spaced repetition systems to capture valuable prompts and technical knowledge50:00 Michael explains his Generux app for generating ecommerce content using Amazon review data analysis to inform high-converting listing images and videos55:00 Discussion of founder mentality involving self-delusion about project timelines, Michael working nine-plus hours daily for nine months on app development60:00 Comparing Amazon's expert software to prosumer software approach, discussing distribution challenges and future robotics applications for customized products65:00 Stewart demonstrates spaced repetition app for memory improvement and knowledge retention, explaining relevance realization problem that AI agents cannot solve without embodimentKey Insights1. Stewart Alsop started AI Whisperers in Buenos Aires after leaving his role at Invisible Technologies, which was OpenAI's largest vendor for RLHF work. He noticed that machine learning engineers at tech companies lacked the humanities background needed to properly interact with large language models, which are fundamentally linguistic tools. This led him to create weekly workshops teaching non-technical people how to use AI effectively, running events every Thursday for two years straight. The group attracted intense geeks from the start and eventually led to Stewart speaking right after Vitalik Buterin at DevConnect, marking a significant milestone for the community.2. Large corporations are resistant to AI adoption due to multiple factors including political dynamics within organizations and employees fearing job loss. Many companies that grew during the pandemic are now using AI as an excuse to downsize when the real issue is inefficiency from rapid expansion. Stewart observed that even technical people in machine learning often don't understand how to properly use AI tools because they lack linguistic and humanities training. The fundamental problem is educational, requiring companies to train people how to use these new tools while those same people resist learning them.3. Vibe coding has evolved significantly with Claude Code being a game changer that reduced the technical barrier to entry. Before Claude Code, developers needed substantial technical knowledge to work through constant doom loops and debugging cycles. The success of coding AI tools stems from thirty years of testing infrastructure that provides clear yes or no feedback on whether code works. This infrastructure doesn't exist in the same way for manufacturing, science, and other fields, which is why software became the dominant area for AI assistance initially.4. Claude's quality degradation over recent months resulted from multiple factors including distillation attacks by Chinese companies who reverse engineered Anthropic's reasoning capabilities. Anthropic had hired philosophers, sociologists, and psychologists to develop exceptional reasoning in Claude 4.5, but this was expensive to run. When Chinese models like Kimi copied these capabilities at one tenth the cost, and when mainstream users flooded the platform before Anthropic's planned IPO, the company had to reduce quality to manage computational costs. This represents a significant loss for power users who relied on Claude's superior reasoning abilities.5. Stewart built a podcast recording application to replace Riverside because he needed API access to automate workflows, which Riverside wanted one thousand dollars monthly to provide. The technical challenge involves syncing audio and video from local recordings on multiple computers with different clocks through a server, then merging them so voices match lip movements. This problem requires understanding complex timing issues across different network conditions and file formats. Stewart has been working through AI psychosis for months on this FFMPEG pipeline problem, illustrating how vibe coding still requires building intuition about technical problems even without traditional coding knowledge.6. The transition from expert software to prosumer software represents a major opportunity for AI-enabled tools. Expert software like Photoshop, Blender, and terminal interfaces have extreme complexity that intimidates beginners, but AI is making these capabilities accessible through natural language. The reign of specialists is ending as generalists with broad knowledge and curiosity can now build complete applications by leveraging AI to fill technical gaps. This shift particularly benefits entrepreneurs and founders who specialize in getting into difficult situations and figuring them out, even when they originally thought tasks would be easier than they turned out to be.7. Building applications with AI requires accepting massive time investments beyond initial estimates and developing strategies for overcoming knowledge gaps. Michael estimated his ecommerce content generation app would take months but spent nearly a year working over nine hours daily, while Stewart spent months solving audio-video sync issues. Success requires using tools like deep research to understand how competitors solve problems, maintaining separate planning and coding agents, and learning to ask the right questions. The key insight is that vibe coders can achieve ninety percent of functionality independently, but the final ten percent often requires understanding specific technical concepts that AI cannot intuit without proper context and domain knowledge.

Join us for a fascinating conversation with Kaylin Torres, a senior at Boston University in the Kilachand Honors College studying Linguistics and Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences in Sargent College. Her senior Keystone research project, “Sensory Overload vs. Structured Learning: The Role of Children's TV in Speech Development,” explores how specific features of children's media, such as pacing, auditory complexity, language structure, and narrative tone, impact expressive language development. Drawing from interdisciplinary research in developmental psychology, language acquisition, and media studies, Kaylin developed a rubric to evaluate children's programming beyond the traditional “screen time” debate. Her work highlights how slower-paced, structured, and language-rich content can better support speech development, while fast-paced, overstimulating media may increase cognitive load and hinder language processing. Kaylin's passion for this field is deeply personal, shaped by growing up alongside her younger brother with minimally speaking autism. She is committed to advancing accessible, evidence-based approaches that support communication for all children.

Happy World Dracula Day to all who celebrate! Visit theallusionist.org/draculae2 for more information about the topics in this episode plus a transcript.This is the second episode of the Draculae miniseries, about a literary mystery which came to me via a meme: “Someone translated Dracula into Icelandic, and it took over 100 years for anyone to point out he just made a fanfic rewrite of what he wanted the story to be.”In Draculae part 2, Ásgeir Jónsson explains how he got that Icelandic adaptation of Dracula back into print, to little fanfare - but then Dutch scholar Hans Corneel de Roos set about making an English translation. Following that: like me, Will Trimble also got meme-struck, and that propelled him to get a translation of the Swedish version that begat the Icelandic one.Before listening to this, check out the first episode of the Draculae miniseries explaining the three versions of Dracula: Dracula published by Bram Stoker in 1897; the Icelandic version Makt Myrkranna by newspaper editor Valdimar Ásmundsson, serialised in his newspaper Fyallkonan in 1900-1901; and the Swedish version Mörkrets makter by an author known only as A—e, and serialised in a couple of Swedish newspapers 1899-1900.Sign up at theallusionist.org/donate to fund the continuing existence of this independent podcast.

What if one heartfelt compliment could completely change another parent's day? In this episode, I explore how quick we can be to notice parenting struggles in public while often overlooking the moments of patience, connection, and love happening all around us. The conversation highlights the importance of remembering that every family has a story we cannot see and that one difficult moment never defines a parent or child. This episode will inspire you to shift your focus toward compassion, community, and celebrating the everyday wins of parenting.Interested in a Toddler Tribe Community full of resources and connection? ⁠DM ⁠me "Community" on ⁠Instagram ⁠so we can connect!

In this episode of the Project Narrative Podcast, Jim Phelan and Jonathan Culler discuss Edith Wharton’s “Roman Fever,” which was first published in Liberty Magazine in 1934, and then included in her 1936 collection, The World Over. Jonathan Culler is the class of 1916 Professor Emeritus at Cornell University. Culler has been one of the most distinguished and productive literary and critical theorists of his generation. Among his 11 single-authored books are: the 1975 volume, Structuralist Poetics: Structuralism, Linguistics, and the Study of Literature, which won the MLA’s James Russell Lowell Prize for the best book by an MLA member in that year; the 1982 volume, On Deconstruction: Theory and Criticism After Structuralism, which lucidly explicated the then still emerging movement called deconstruction; and the 1997 book, Literary Theory: A Very Short Introduction, which has been translated into more than 25 languages. Throughout his career, Culler has conducted extended engagements with narrative, narrative theory, and lyric theory, and in 2015, he published Theory of the Lyric. Among Culler’s many recognitions are his elections to several distinguished scholarly groups, including: the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 2001; the American Philosophical Society, 2006; and the British Academy, 2020. The International Society for the Study of Narrative has selected Culler as the winner of the Wayne C. Booth Lifetime Achievement Award for 2026.

It's been one year since Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez moved to Paris to take on the role of creative director at the craft-focused brand Loewe, and the duo is still adjusting to their new life in the City of Lights. “I'd hardly call us Parisians,” McCollough said. “We've got a lot of work to do with our French.”Linguistic obstacles aside, the pair has already made a big impression with their first two collections, which Hernandez sums up as “taking those codes of American sportswear—like the T-shirt, the jean, the bomber jacket—and then putting them through the filter of high craft, specifically leathercraft.” They've swiftly established principles for their tenure: poppy colors, trompe l'oeil fabric innovations, and sleek silhouettes that marry their American point of view to Loewe's technical capabilities. McCollough and Hernandez made their names two decades ago with their line Proenza Schouler, which helped shape the downtown cool-girl uniform of the era: casual yet elevated, arty without being pretentious. They were very much a part of the fabric of New York's fashion scene, so it was something of a shock when it was announced that they would decamp to Paris for this new adventure. Still, they've taken the challenge head-on, adding a jolt of American ease and fun to the brand. The pair discuss the Loewe Craft Prize, now in its 10th year. The program, run through Loewe's non-profit arm, seeks to elevate craftspeople from various disciplines and has been an eye-opening initiative for the pair to take part in.“It's just so nice to be working at a company that celebrates this kind of thing,” Hernandez said. “I think it's quite rare these days. So it's been very fulfilling.”The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

What if the most powerful learning moments happen not in classrooms, but during everyday adventures with your child? In this episode, I explore the concept of child-led learning and challenge the traditional belief that learning is simply the accumulation of knowledge. Instead, learning is reframed as a child's natural process of exploring, connecting, experimenting, and making sense of the world around them. The episode highlights the importance of emotional safety, connection, and allowing children the space to guide their own discoveries in everyday moments. I share a fresh perspective on how to support curiosity, nurture development naturally, and recognize the powerful learning opportunities already happening all around them.Interested in a Toddler Tribe Community full of resources and connection?

A literary mystery came to me via a meme: “Someone translated Dracula into Icelandic, and it took over 100 years for anyone to point out he just made a fanfic rewrite of what he wanted the story to be.” In this first instalment of a short series about three versions of Dracula, we familiarise ourselves with the plots of Dracula published by Bram Stoker in 1897; the Icelandic version Makt Myrkranna by newspaper editor Valdimar Ásmundsson, serialised in his newspaper Fyallkonan in 1900-1901; and the Swedish version Mörkrets makter by an author known only as A—e, and serialised in a couple of Swedish newspapers 1899-1900.

What if the key to raising successful kids in an AI-driven world isn't more academics, but stronger imagination? Bradley Scheel joins me to explore how creativity is a learnable skill that too often fades as children grow, especially after age five. He breaks down how brain development, cultural norms, and education systems unintentionally suppress imagination, and what parents can do to reverse that trend. We discuss the importance of intrinsic motivation, curiosity, and resilience as essential 21st-century skills. Tune in to learn how intentional, play-based experiences can help children build creative intelligence and thrive in a rapidly changing world.  When not living in his imagination, Wylde is an award-winning children's author and founder of The Imagination Project and Wylde Scott Entertainment. In addition to dreaming up fantastic tales for young readers, Wylde spends his time in elementary schools, bookstores, and libraries creating fun-filled events for children, parents, and teachers alike.

What if your toddler's refusal to say “thank you” isn't defiance but a clue about how their brain actually works? In this episode I unpack a real-life moment where prompting gratitude backfired, revealing why young children often can't express thankfulness on command. You'll learn how true gratitude is an internal feeling that toddlers are still developing, not a social script they can reliably perform. Instead of enforcing polite words, I share a powerful shift: modeling gratitude by thanking your child first. The result is a more authentic, emotionally grounded path to raising genuinely grateful humans.If you're enjoying the show, please take a moment to rate and review!

Episode: 1566 Glottochronology: In which language decays like carbon-14.  Today, a new word for you: glottochronology.

"The word ‘suburbia' sort of evokes a very fixed idea of a place that is identikit, that all suburbs are the same, that within the suburb everything is the same, that all people are the same, all experiences are the same," says social historian and author John Grindrod, "I think it has this kind of flattening-out facility, that word, that isn't true."Content note: this episode contains one category B swear.

Understanding the accent you didn't know you had.Whether communicating in our mother tongue or practicing a new language, we all speak with an accent. But that's not all, says Valerie Fridland — we hear with an accent as well.Fridland is a professor of sociolinguistics at the University of Nevada, Reno, and author of Why We Talk Funny: The Real Story Behind Our Accents. According to her, we don't just sound a certain way, we hear a certain way too, affecting how we understand others. “We're hearing with an accent — a bias shaped by our own language and experience,” she says. But instead of expecting others' communication to fit our preconceptions, Fridland says to meet people halfway. “If we want to make communication successful, it's not just their job as a speaker, it's my job as a listener.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Fridland and host Matt Abrahams discuss how empathetic listening opens the door to understanding. Whether you're communicating in a context of mutual intelligibility or attempting to bridge cultural and linguistic divides, Fridland's insights show how connection is a collaboration — shaped by accents on both sides of the conversation.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Valerie FridlandValerie's Book: Why We Talk FunnyEp.91 Um, Like, So: How Filler Words Can Create More Connected, Effective Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:29) - The Role of Filled Pauses (04:53) - When Fillers Become a Problem (06:15) - Why We Don't Hear Our Own Accent (07:40) - Language Rhythm & Intonation (12:30) - Listening with an Accent (17:28) - The Final Three Questions (23:34) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

You know what's an absolutely pesky kind of word to define in a dictionary? Colour names. A passel of lexicographers spent years - decades, even - trying different ways to describe colours in words for Webster's Third International Dictionary. It was such a huge, complicated effort that it took twelve years for former Merriam-Webster lexicographer Kory Stamper to write a book about it.Content note: this episode contains a couple of category B swears. There is also mention of puke - but, emetophobes, it's not the puke that you think.Visit theallusionist.org/hues for more information about the topics in this episode plus a transcript of the episode.
