Ideal Vox-cation

Armed with a mini-disc recorder and a sunny disposition, Ai weathered the Seattle storms by asking people on the University of Washington campus about vacation. She was so slick with the tape recorder that we hardly edited her tape at all.


Make yourself a pina colada and be an audio tourist for a minute.

Multilingual Puns

In Urdu, the word for "peas" is "mattar." So, now that you know that, here's a joke that only bilingual Urdu speakers would understand.

How do peas talk? They mutter.

I got a million of them.

Puns was one of the unexpected topics that we ended up convering in our FIRST RADIO WORKSHOP on Tuesday night. Listen in to the latest podcast episode to hear some potential Japanese puns.

What other multilingual puns do you know?
