We recorded another @wordsandactions.bsky.social episode today, featuring three interviews with language activists. Who are they and what is language #activism, you ask? New episode will be out soon!

What a thrill to get a Podcast notification this morning from @wordsandactions.bsky.social ! We talk 'money' 💰 in ep.#30, the dark side of it: readability, obfuscation, (no) transparency. We bring out the big guns: from DiCaprio to the CEO of one of the biggest gun manufacturers. shorturl.at/WpwcR

We have now recorded episode 30 on financial communication, including a roundtable with three experts who know the field both as academics and as practitioners. Watch this space for the drop!
