This is the first of a two part episode in which Dr Dan Fisher talks with Sawsan Abdelghany and Adam Williamson on their work on ESOL interpretation in asylum appeals. In this part, Sawsan and Dan are interviewing Adam.

Adam Williamson is a freelance translator and interpreter based in Paris, where he works with English, Spanish and French. He began his interpreting career in the asylum system in Glasgow, where he encountered a variety of challenging circumstances and ethically compromising situations for which he felt his interpreter training had not fully prepared him. These experiences led him to complete an MPhil by research at the University of Glasgow, under the supervision of the UNESCO RILA team. Chiefly drawing on participant observation and interviews, his study looks at the mismatch between the expectations of interpreters in the asylum context and the reality on the ground. The research also includes a series of recommendations which will feed into the third iteration of the Scottish Government’s New Scots Refugee Integration Strategy.

Adam Williamson on interpretation in the UK asylum system

E65 - Adam Williamson on interpretation in the UK asylum system

This week’s Misfit Entrepreneur is Pete Reese.  Pete is the President of Reelvest Properties, a land development and investment company. With nearly two decades of real estate experience as a broker and investor, Pete has successfully purchased and sold hundreds of pieces of real estate for a profit over the years for himself and on behalf of his clients. He did $3.5 Million in Revenue in 2022 with his land flipping and development business, and did over $10 Million in 2023. 

When I learned about what Pete was doing, I had to have him on.  He has found a niche in “land flipping.” It is a fascinating way to create income and earn a living that Pete has been teaching others to do for years.  I wanted to have him on to explain the concept and how it works compared to other types of real estate investing.

Neon Lights

Afterglow City is the final breath of Miami — a metropolis reduced to ashes but still glowing faintly against the horizon. The track blends melancholy synth chords with gentle lo-fi rhythms, evoking the bittersweet beauty of endings. It feels like watching the last sunset over a broken skyline, where the glow is both fragile and eternal. Afterglow City captures the paradox of the apocalypse: despair wrapped in beauty, silence wrapped in light. It closes the main arc of the album, leaving listeners with the image of a city shimmering one final time before fading into darkness. Perfect for fans of emotional synthwave, ambient electronic, and cinematic soundscapes.

Afterglow City


🌌 [CYBERLIFE.EXE] — a journey through neon lights, glitches, and digital melancholy.
Here, Synthwave nostalgia from the 80s collides with the cold pulse of Cyberwave, wrapped in the warm textures of Lo-Fi that soothe the noise of endless cities.

This is music for midnight streets, empty highways, and the glow of windows flickering in sync with your thoughts.
It’s where the past blends with the future, and emotions transform into digital code.

✨ Atmosphere:

neon synths glowing like city lights in the night;

deep bass, echoing like the heartbeat of a machine;

glitch effects dissolving reality into streams of data;

melancholic melodies leaving the aftertaste of nostalgia.

⚡ [CYBERLIFE.EXE] — more than music. It’s the soundtrack to a world where you choose: to be a wanderer in the neon haze or the hero of your own cyber story.
