I was wondering if the Mayor of Limerick is a regular listener to the Daily Source Code*? On DSC 482 Stacey from Podcasting.ie was giving Adam Curry a language lesson in how to speak Limerick. Am sure the complaints from the Mayor will roll in soon but anyway I laughed during my cattle train commute this morning, as Adam tried to conquer the Limerick Accent and proclaimed that ‘Buurd’ must be in popular usage as a term to refer to ones Biatch, woman etc etc.
I look forward to the language lessons in How to speak Cork (Taking bets now on the inclusion of Langer as the most important word to translate) and Dublin. And I know Bernie is behind this somewhere – at least in getting his students to think! Adam needs more than language lessons on Ireland though – his geography/general knowledge like many Americans is poor!
I do hope that the work being done by Stacey and Tanya and others on podcasting.ie means we are going to see more Irish podcasting content??
*For the uninitiated The Daily Source Code is a podcast – one of the more popular ones – hosted by the Podfather, co-founder of Podshow and former MTV VJ Adam Curry.
