As a bonus for dedicated Three Percent listeners (both of you!), this podcast features the two Fulbright students studying in the translation program this past year: Ayoub Al-Ahmadi from Yemen and Jan Pytalski from Poland. We talk about their individual projects--both of which are likely to be published by Open Letter in the next few years--cultural differences, the classes they took with me (which were their favorite classes--and I didn't even pay them to say that!), and camel jumping. Yes, camel jumping.
(Best part of the camel-jumping video--aside from the actual jumping of camels--is the opening question: "How do you jump over a camel?" "I run fast and jump high." Yup.)
