Become a Patron!Talk the Talk was a podcast about language that ran on community radio station RTRFM in Perth Australia. It aired on Tuesdays at 11am from about 2009 until early 2020.
Many people took part, but the main crew was Daniel Midgley, Ben Ainslie, Kylie Sturgess, and Hedvig Skirgård.
All the regular and bonus episodes are here for your listening pleasure, along with the promos, where Daniel would tell what the upcoming show was about. Some shows have Cutting Room Floor posts, which contain fun stuff that didn’t make it into the regular show. There are also full interviews with our guests.
The team continues its linguistic adventures as Because Language, and you can hear their zany exploits at becauselanguage.com.
