About this listen

In this episode of the Found in Interpretation Podcast, hosts Alain Breton and Brian Bickford engage with Allyson Sigman, a Japanese-English interpreter, discussing her unique journey into the field, the challenges faced by non-native interpreters, and the intricacies of Japanese language and culture.

They explore the techniques used in interpretation, the impact of technology, and the future of interpreting in Japan, especially in light of an aging population and increasing demand for language services. The conversation also touches on cultural nuances, the importance of community interpreting, and the evolving landscape of the profession.
