New Episode! In Episode 28 of the ATA SPD Podcast, Gabriela Escarrá interviews The Evolving Linguist Conference keynote speakers Daniel  Šebesta and Nathalie Greff‑Santamaria, offering fresh perspectives on how language professionals can thrive in an evolving landscape. 

  • 00:00 – 14:57 Nathalie Greff‑Santamaria challenges the narrative of decline in interpreting, using a powerful metaphor: the ostrich that runs with purpose, not one that buries its head in the sand. She shares strategies for interpreters to engage change confidently—through specialization, expanded skills, and active participation in the interpreting community.
  • 14:57 – 24:22 Daniel Šebesta examines how AI predictions were partially true—but ultimately, those who adapt by specializing and embracing new tools are outperforming outdated models. Expect insights on working with AI, unlocking new revenue streams, and repositioning your language services.


Both speakers offer inspiration and practical strategies to help you stay ahead. Their interviews are a perfect preview of what’s coming at the Evolving Linguist Conference on September 6, 2025 at Rutgers University–New Brunswick.
