delightful for those of us in this profession
I know many of these people, but I’ve never talked to them about their research, their school experiences, their concerns. I've missed so much. But this podcast lets me do that, something I’ve never been able to do before. Better yet, I get to learn more others I have not met, but now want to, like Chris and Harumi.

Tips from the writers' mouths
This podcast is a great way to unpack what underlies applied linguistics papers by hearing what the writers themselves think. You can also learn extra details that are not mentioned in the original papers (due to space limitations). Also, it's fun to listen to and pick up various ideas about researching tips and pitfalls to avoid. The interviewers do a great job.
