This second bonus episode of the podcast is a conversation that Rebecca and Frances recently had with writer and translator, Anton Hur. We are excited to share that Anton is the first guest we have had on One Bright Book! His insights into translation and the role of the translator were direct and honest, revealing both surprises and calls for action to improve the landscape of the craft.
