Hi there, Vicky. 😄 The Music Highlight from you and Eugenia is great and so energetic; thank you, both. It brings back fond memories for me of seeing him in concert in my teens in 1985. I just listened to your podcast. That was a fascinating interview in every respect! You were absolutely spot on when you referred to Matthew Hododo as a 'linguistic powerhouse'! Like you, I could listen to him for so much longer. He is fun and energetic and you are a terrific interviewer. ✨ Something that really struck me was when he quoted someone about dehumanisation, and he said that there are two ways to dehumanise: to dismiss and to idolise. It is the latter that I had not ever considered before. Thank you for this substack entry, Vicky... I learned so much today! 😁

Hi Taylor!

Thank you so so much! I am so happy you listened to the podcast - the truth is, I also thought the same about dehumanising through idolising - I had never thought of it before! Ok I wanted to keep it as a surprise, but I reeeally have to tell you - there is going to be a Part 2 with Matthew!

I saw Bryan Adams in concert pretty late, about 9 years ago - he was GREAT!

Thank you so much again for reading, for your support and your super comments : ) I learn so much from you too!
