Sophia Smith Galer is an award-winning journalist and author best known for pioneering vertical-video reporting on platforms like TikTok. Recognised as one of British Vogue's 25 most influential women in the UK, she has amassed over 200 million views for her reporting on technology, language, and culture. Sophia is also one of just four people ever to have won University Challenge twice!We explore her recent book, How to Kill a Language, which is a hopeful, healing, humorous, insightful book which I highly recommend. Her research resonates so deeply with our own native tongue. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Grma as éisteacht! Thank you for listening! Beidh tú sásta gur éist tú :) You will be glad you did. Míle buíochas, a chara Sophia - Many thanks, Sophia :) Ba phleisiúr é - It was a pleasure :)
