Before the Major Project module officially started, I already set personal deadlines for sections and documents to be ready. In my manifesto, I would outline the project and the reasoning behind it as well as its projection into the future.
Regarding the podcast, I shortlisted the people I wanted to invite for the first few episodes and I decided I was going to only focus on fashion and language as the main topic of the series. Since this podcast was not only an extension but also the final part of an ongoing project that started when I enrolled this MA, it could only have one title: No More Loaned Language - The Podcast series.
Once all of the above was decided, I sent over an official invitation via email to the first four guests and set up the calls with them upon acceptance. Even though I won’t be able to get more than three episodes for submission, I expect to continue with this series once I finish my MA. These are the six first guests that I would like to invite to my podcast. Bear in mind that they are not in order of appearance:
Víctor Cantero: Fellow Spanish translator with experience in fashion content creation.
Chiara Vannini: Native Italian translator with a wide experience in the field of fashion and luxury as a translator and transcreator.
Arhnild Schmidt: Native German translator and content specialist in the fashion field.
Raquel Calvo: Native Spanish translator specialised in the fashion and luxury field.
Sophie MacCormack: Originally from the UK, she is the Marketing Manager for NOE (North of Europe and UK) at Vestiaire Collective.
Seb Law: Native English fashion copywriter.
Sarah Jobert: French fashion editor.
At first I thought I’d invite all the translators to the same episode so we could discuss the issues we’ve come across while translating fashion content. However, after giving it some thought I realised the podcast would be much richer if I reserved an entire episode for each of them to get different perspectives, opinions and thoughts that will allow me and the audience to contrast information and learn much more.
