D-Ream - U R The Best Thing [Perfecto Mix]

It's easy to find claims that certain languages are old or even the oldest, but which one is actually true? Fortunately, there's an easy (though unsatisfying) answer: none of them! Like how humans are all descended from other humans, even though some of us may have longer or shorter family trees found in written records, all human languages are shaped by contact with other languages. We don't even know whether the oldest language(s) was/were spoken or signed, or even whether there was a singular common ancestor language or several.

In this episode, your hosts Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne get enthusiastic about what people mean when we talk about a language as being old. We talk about how classifying languages as old or classical is often a political or cultural decision, how the materials that are used to write a language influence whether it gets preserved (from clay to bark), and how people talk about creoles and signed languages in terms of oldness and newness. And finally, how a language doesn't need to be justified in terms of its age for whether it's interesting or worthy of respect.

88: No such thing as the oldest language

In anticipation of International Women's Day tomorrow, Superwoman, an informal women's networking group, is gearing up to host a special event at Cardiff and Vale College with special guest speaker Sharon James-Evans, Principal of Cardiff and Vale College.

To mark the event, this International Women’s Day digital discussion, hosted by Gemma Casey, Business News Wales Editor, is joined by Superwoman founder Bethan Darwin, Sharon James-Evans, Principal of Cardiff and Vale College and Sara Osorio, a student ambassador at Cardiff and Vale College.

‘Superwoman’, founded by Bethan Darwin, an employment lawyer and partner at Thomson Darwin, has been a beacon of support for women since its inception in 2005. Originally born out of a need to fill the gap in male-dominated networking circles, Superwoman has evolved into a platform that not only facilitates professional connections but also raises funds for various charitable causes.

Over the years, Superwoman has grown significantly, with around a thousand women on its database. Despite its title, the group welcomes men who share its values of inclusivity and support for women in the workplace and beyond.

It is not everyday we are sent a 5 hour mix from someone we have asked to join our Phonica mix series; but when Sheffield & Manchester legend Luke Una sends one… you have to jump straight into it! Having become first recognised in the late 80’s and 90’s as one half of production team “The Unabombers” with Justin Crawford, Luke over the years has shown to be a master in all genres be it Balearic, to Brazilian to E soul, House, Disco and Techno, you name it! With his Worldwide FM show over the years gaining a cult following Luke has gained an even more of a broader crowd from his curation of his E Soul Cultura compilation series via the label Mr.Bongo (Both comps topping our EOY lists in 2022 and 2023). This exact vast taste (that is displayed in these compilations) is very much pummelled into this five hour journey of a mix like a piece of clay and sculpted into a fine piece of art. We had a chat with Luke about this timeless mix and what he has been up to lately: http://offtherecord.net/phonica-mix-series-119luke-una/
