Listen "#2: Who's In Charge Of English Anyway?"
Episode Synopsis
French, Spanish, Mandarin and Arabic all have governing bodies that call the shots. But what about English?
Join us as we take a whirlwind tour of the history of English to find out who's really in charge. Along the way, we discuss our favourite (and least favourite) words, give dodgy recitals of Beowulf and Chaucer, and discover what makes the English language so special.
