What makes a great interpreter irreplaceable? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jonathan Downie, conference and church interpreter, author, and YouTuber, to explore the human side of interpretation that AI still can’t replicate.

We discuss:

Why humour builds stronger interpreter–client relationships
The limits of AI and machine interpreting in real-world settings
How localization and deep understanding are at the heart of true interpreting
Emotional resilience, client education, and how interpreters carry “weight”
Why interpreting is not just about words — it’s about meaning and connection.
