What did you think of this episode?

Outlander fans will enjoy this episode, where we trace the winding trail of language from the misty Highlands of Scotland to the shaded hollers of Appalachia. Along the way, we unpack double modals like “might could,” trace the evolution of the word highlander and outlander, and reflect on how language becomes a legacy you carry in your mouth. Hear about the real-life Scottish festival held in July, called the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games, which was featured in season 4 of Outlander.

Plus, if you're a fan of traditional Appalachian music, I've got a road trip for you that you won't want to miss.
