The Language & Life Podcast
About the Show
The Language & Life Podcast is a long-form podcast about how people interact with and experience the world. Some guests are experts in topics I find interesting, while others share inspiring life experiences. Each episode unfolds as an open dialogue guided by curiosity, reflection, and a deep interest in both the everyday and the extraordinary.
About the Host
My name is Hunter Langenhorst and I'm a Ph.D. Candidate in the field of Applied Linguistics. As a researcher, I'm particularly interested in the different kinds of interactional tools humans use to engage in face-to-face teaching and learning processes. More broadly, I’m interested in learning about topics related to qualitative research, science, philosophy, the outdoors, music, education, and work.
