12: Linguistic and emotional commuting

Speaking several languages and commuting between different places can be enriching and unsettling at the same time. Federico Gobbo, professor of Interlinguistics and Esperanto, experienced that himself and started a podcast about it during the first lockdown in 2020: The Commuters. Dean Marieke de Goede joins him to discuss podcasting, language, mobility and identity. 'All polyglots know this: when you speak another language, you become a slightly different version of yourself.'
