More on: Code-Switching

The podcast episodes explore the concept of code-switching in various contexts, including how people navigate different linguistic environments, cultures, and ways of being.

For example, in the episode '1132: Felonious States of Adjectival Excess Featuring Comparative and Superlative Forms by A. H. Jerriod Avant', the episode explores how the poem's author brings 'imagination and attention to sonic idioms of a poem' and makes 'reading aloud fun'.

In the episode 'Orna Guralnik (Couples Therapy)', the guest Orna Guralnik shares her experiences of having to code-switch between different languages, cultures, and ways of being when moving between different social contexts.

Similarly, the 'Code Switch' podcast episodes 'What Makes A Good Race Joke?' and 'The Sum Of Our Parts' directly tackle issues of code-switching and how people of color navigate different cultural contexts and perspectives.
