Góður dagur og velkominn! It's episode 11 of The Last Tuesday Project, thank Týr! this month we've abandoned the comparatively warm climes of the UK and have shifted our gaze northwards.
Alex asked Hayley, Shaun, and Guest Tuesday Tammy, why Icelandic has hardly changed since the Sagas were written in the 11th, 12th and 13th Centuries. With many references to the little known website Whykyperdeea, we talk etymology, migration and invasion. We also discuss whether there are other languages which have followed a similar path, and what's so vulgar about Romansh.
Plus, as this is a British podcast, there are a number of references to a certain frozen food supermarket chain...
Our next TWOsday episode will be a UK General Election Special! No clues (mainly because, at the time of writing, we hadn't recorded it yet), but it will be released on Tuesday 6th June, two days before us Brits decide our own fate. Because that always goes well, right?
Also, have you heard our last TWOsday episode? It was Mental Health Awareness Week, so 5 of us spent some time talking about our own experiences with depression and anxiety. It's a long listen, but it's honest, frank, and surprisingly funny. Listen to Episode 10a to find out more.

Welcome to TWOsday! Yes, it's the second Tuesday of the month, so here's this month's TLTP extra episode.
Episode 10 was on the subject of whether mindfulness meditation works as a treatment for depression. Normally these extra episodes include outtakes from the main episode, plus a little extra discussion loosely based on the topic covered. However, the extra discussion turned out to be not so little. Because of this, we've decided to release that discussion by itself. It's quite a long chat, but it's a lot of fun.
Alex, Hayley and Shaun are joined by guest Tuesdays Simon and Kirioth, to talk about our own experiences with depression and anxiety. We discuss mental health and work, dealing with social situations, plus some random (and funny) experiences of our own.
