  • Summary

  • “Other things came, like telephones, and they stopped the tapes.”


    Generations of Scottish-Pakistanis sent and received Tape Letters, before new means of communication took over: from email to instant messaging, video calls to voice notes.


    This episode explores evolving technology. How does it impact the use of language, and linguistic identities?


    “Ask the younger children! What does it mean to be Pakistani for them, through their lens?”
