00:20:52 | Season: 1 | Episode: 153 | May 9th, 2022
This week, Queenie is excited to receive a parcel of poems from her friends Lisa and Sheila, who work at Scotland’s National Centre for Languages. The poems are six of the winners of this year's Mother Tongue Other Tongue competition, and are in the languages of Akrikaans, Bulgarian, Doric, French, Italian, Spanish, and Urdu. To find out more about the poems and the competition, Queenie calls up her friends for a chat, and then listens to the poems read by Brooklyn, Hayley, Lucia, Regina, Sabihah, and Simon.
