From buzzsprout.com:

This unique (sometimes funny, sometimes serious) podcast focuses on supporting signed language interpreters in the European countries by creating a place where ideas, feelings and people come together.

Interpreter's Workshop with Tim Curry deals with the fact that many countries do not have education for sign language interpreters. Here we talk to sign language interpreters, teachers, and researchers, to look at the real issues and share ideas from many countries. Signed language interpreters usually work alone or in small teams. This can create a feeling of uncertainty about our work, our skills and our roles. Here is the place to connect and find certainty.

Book cover of Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman. A light grey cover, with the words in grey at the top - New York Times Bestseller. Underneath - in black bold font - Embrace Your Limits. Change Your Life. Then the book title, all in black capitals, FOUR THOUSAND WEEKS, with a blue and white striped birthday candle underneath that, burning at both ends. The words in black bold font "Time Management for Mortals" are above the author's name Oliver Burkeman in grey font.
From the publisher's website:

What if you stopped trying to do everything, so that you could finally get around to what counts?

...We’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient and [with] life hacks to optimize our days. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate time management problem: the question of how best to use our ridiculously brief time on the planet, which amounts on average to about four thousand weeks.

Drawing on the insights of both ancient and contemporary philosophers, psychologists, and spiritual teachers, Oliver Burkeman delivers an entertaining, humorous, practical, and ultimately profound guide to time and time management. Rejecting the futile modern obsession with “getting everything done,” Four Thousand Weeks introduces readers to tools for constructing a meaningful life by embracing finitude, showing that many of the unhelpful ways we’ve come to think about time aren’t inescapable, unchanging truths, but choices we’ve made as individuals and as a society—and that we can do things differently.

A review by John Williams, The New York Times, August 21, 2021.
