Fifty Words For Snow

Ep 35 Swedish Soul part 2: Fika

Maggie and Emily learn the Swedish word fika from Tomas Walch and explore the word petrichor with Susan Sechrist. Poem by Maggie: fika

A linguistic expedition into brave new words. Maggie Rowe and Emily John Garcés hunt for words that lack an English equivalent. They like to think of themselves as Dora the Explorers of language, with their rucksacks and hats and notebooks and magnifying glasses, embarking on a cultural adventure, hunting and gathering useful new word specimens from far flung continents, and holding them up to see what new light they shine on old ideas.
