I am currently on my summer holidays, but that doesn’t mean that followers of The Interpreter Diaries shouldn’t have something to read, so I’ve decided to share with you a series of articles by another interpreter-writer.
“Off mic with Phil Smith” is a column written for Communicate!, the AIIC webzine. Phil Smith is a freelance conference interpreter and fellow AIIC member. In this column, he writes about just about anything, not only what he does for a living – although interpreting always manages to find its way into his articles somehow.
Phil’s articles aren’t written in the form of a blog, so unfortunately they are not all available in one place – until today, that is. After undertaking some extensive and painstaking research (actually, I just Googled “Off mic with Phil Smith”), I have put together this compendium of Phil’s articles for your enjoyment, all of which have been published in Communicate! over the last several years.
Happy reading!

The Interpreter Diaries 
After undertaking some extensive and painstaking research (actually, I just Googled “Off mic with Phil Smith”), 🙂 (no puedo parar de reir).
Nos has dejado una buen lista de artículos de interés para leer. Menos mal que me descargué no hace mucho una maravillosa aplicación para el Tablet (Read it Later) que te genera una lista de las cosas que quieres leer pero que quieres recordar porque no tienes tiempo en ese preciso momento de leerlo. Up it goes your post to my Read it Later list!
¡Felices vacaciones!
“Read it Later” – sounds like a great name for a column written by an interpreter on the go. Any takers?
I actually have Read it Later installed on my netbook – but since I haven’t had time to read the instructions, I don’t know how to use it! Bit of a vicious circle going on there …
Uh, you’re so well organised. I just get engulfed in holidays and don’t realise until afterwards that I should have posted a sign about that on Twitter and my blog. Thanks for the reading tips and thank you Judith for the tip of Read it Later, that sounds like an app I need 🙂
Thank you for your effort! 😉 These posts are hillarious and although I wanted to test the Read it later app at first, I couldn’t resist and just kept reading, other things will wait! I can’t remember when was the last time I laughed so much … a perfect summer read!
And of course enjoy your vacations!
So funny! Thanks for sharing Michelle
