Not Quite Magic is a Seven Sisters podcast about interpreters. We interview interpreters (aka, translators who work with spoken or signed words) about what they do: their joys, their struggles, and how they do what often seems like magic. Elena Langdon, with added support from Liz Essary and Laura Holcomb, talks to professionals who are on the frontlines of this work every day - the sometimes hidden experts in a fascinating and essential line of work.
