Episode 26: The laughing sadist with the ribbon of blue

One of my favorite days of the week is Outlander Podcast day!

outlanderpod's avatarThe Outlander Podcast™

In this episode, we discuss recent announcements in the world of ‘Outlander,’ including another Q&A with Maril Davis, Co-executive Producer, and some other wonderful things that Starz has shared over the past week. We also continue our read-along with Chapter 21: “Un Mauvais Quart d’Heure After Another.” 

Thank you, again, to Erin Conrad and Three if by Space for the great put-it-all-in-one-place Q&A. It really helps us organize ourselves, and we know lots of other #Outlanders appreciate it, as well.

Now even Gàidhlig speakers can read about Outlander!

Unfortunately, I am not yet one of them. I have been able to pick out a few tidbits.

The caption under the photo seems to reference something about Irish Actress Caitriona Balfe who is Claire Randall and Sam Heughan from New Galloway
who is Jamie Fraser.

The rest of the article, I can only pick out a few words.  I do see references to 18th and 20th centuries, young Scot and Diana Gabaldon’s 25 million books sold. There are also references to Ron D. Moore, Klingons and Star Trek. And lastly, there is a quote from Àdhamh that seems to reference something about the Gàidhlig.

I have sent a Tweet to Àdhamh asking if he can summarize for us in English, but I know he and the cast are very busy filming on location at the moment. However, I will post as soon as I get a good summary or translation.

An_Comhghallach has his own bit part in the newest Outlander Cartoon!

As we all know, Herself has been onset this past week to film a cameo part in Outlander.  I thought I would share the truly awesome cartoon done by “Outlander Cartoons” (@vivigodinho_) in which our own @an_comhghallach has a bit part!  I am in awe of the talent required to create these cartoons!

Stay tuned for an upcoming wrap-up post for all new Gaelic words and phrases overheard on Twitter this week (including useful phrases for rugby matches and another cartoon to match).

So prior to @Writer_DG leaving for her close-up in Scotland, we knew there was much anticipation for a meeting between  Àdhamh and Diana.

Luckily, I can now report that the meeting has taken place and there is photographic proof!

Alas, Diana’s two lines are in Scots not Gaelic, so I don’t believe there was any direct coaching from Àdhamh, but she was able to observe him at work as evidenced in the following line of her post on Facebook entitled “My Brief Career as a TV Actor (Part 2).”

The director passes round, giving people instructions—and various specialists, such as the dialect coach and the Gaelic expert(this would be Adhamh O’Broin, whom you’ve seen in the “Speak Outlander” videos—a star in his own right. <g>) also zoom in to render aid and advice.

Good work Àdhamh! Dare we hope that there might be more “How to speak Outlander” soon?  Valentine’s Day is coming verra soon after all!

So fellow #Outlanders, what would you choose to learn in the next “How to speak Outlander” lesson?
