S02E21 2024 Review + Your Host Kuan-wen’s Monologue 🇹🇼

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! This is a one-off monologue (without a guest!!) before 2024 comes to an end. But hey. monologo(s) do also mean stand up comedy in Spanish and Italian.This episode covers the 2024 Spotify for Podcast unwrapped to share with the listeners data of your consumption of this Podcast this year, supplemented by statistics from the podcast’s hosting platform. There is in addition a mid-point summary of season 2, with a roadmap of episode recommendations for different types of listeners.Your host Kuan-wen then shares the original idea of the podcast, his thoughts on guest invitations - maybe a bit of frustration, too - and his recent experience of studying and brushing up his *Taiwanese for a podcast interview.*For context, the use of Taiwanese is in constant decline in Taiwan owing to past government policies, with ever fewer people from younger generations being able to master it. Its circumstances are comparable to those of Welsh and Irish.---------------------------------Follow your host Kuan-wen on InstagramFollow Comedy with an Accent on Instagram---------------------------------00:33 Reasons for a no-guest episode03:59 Alternative idea of the host of the podcast turning into the guest for a one-off (nah)05:45 Outline for this episode07:44 2024 - Season 2 mid-point review and some stats08:45 Season 2 episode recommendations (based on the type of listeners)17:08 Data from 2024 Spotify for Podcasters Unwrapped18:30 More data on Podcast consumption from the hosting platform24:50 The idea behind Comedy with an Accent since the launch - a moving Venn diagram27:51 Criteria for guest invitations/selection31:34 Kuan-wen’s apologies for occasional grammatical and pronunciation errors34:04 Kuan-wen prepping for an interview conducted entirely in Taiwanese38:17 Thoughts on producing the monologue episode40:34 How much discussion about languages should be included in the podcast?---------------------------------If you like the episode, please share it and leave a review.
