Episode 10: Post-Gathering Motivation (Part I–Rick’s crazy scheme!)

Posted on July 17, 2019July 17, 2019 by dave

Upon returning from the well-beloved Polyglot Gathering, Rick and Dave discuss what they want to accomplish for the next year. In this episode, Rick talks about a new (to him) concept that he hopes will “melt and rewire” his brain and make him a superhuman Italian-speaking dynamo. If only he could stop spending so much time working on his English.
