Episode 40: Why the country Turkey changed its name
Leave a reviewThe country Turkey got tired of being confused with the names of birds which are also the symbol of a national holiday in the US. Turkey's leaders were also not too keen on the meaning of the word Turkey in English (google says it refers to someone rather silly). Tired of these unflattering associations, the country has decided that the time has come for it to change its name! In this conversation with an almost 9-year old Abir from Singapore, we discuss answers to questions like 'When do people change their names', and 'Are there any characters in books that we think should have different names', and 'What does a country need to do, to change its name'. Listen to this episode to also find some funny trivia and stories about other countries that have changed their names.If you have any questions or comments, please email them to us at hello@wsnt.in.You could also drop us a message on twitter here or on instagram here
