About this episode
In this week's episode, following an unintentional s***storm started on social media, Chad and Tom talk about the obligations of publishers and freelance translators, the cascade of things that can go wrong in the publication process, the necessary sales needed for translations to break even (and how likely that is/isn't), and a variety of new models publishers could employ to stay afloat.
This week's music is "Murder Me Rachael" by The National.
