“I used to be the largest dairy consumer on the planet. I used to eat so much dairy and meat. The more that I looked into the dairy industry, the more that I saw that it was the singular, most inhumane industry on the planet, that we've all been lied to, including myself, for years. I always believed that the picture on the milk carton, the cow standing next to her calf in the green field with the red barn in the back was true. It’s certainly the complete opposite.” – Richard (Kudo) Couto Richard (Kudo) Couto is the founder of Animal Recovery Mission (ARM), an organization solely dedicated to investigating extreme animal cruelty cases. ARM has led high-risk undercover operations that have resulted in the shutdown of illegal slaughterhouses, animal fighting rings, and horse meat trafficking networks. Recently, they released a damning investigation into two industrial dairy farms outside of Phoenix, Arizona supplying milk to Coca-Cola’s Fairlife brand. What they uncovered was systemic animal abuse, environmental violations, and a devastating betrayal of consumer trust. While Fairlife markets its products as being sourced "humanely," ARM’s footage tells a very different story—one of suffering, abuse, and corporate complicity.

In the language professions, there is the contradiction to be both regional experts and citizens of the world in needing to share a message with multiple divergent entities. These identities are crucial for multinational companies whose communications can be very time-sensitive and have major implications on everything they do. For this reason, it's important to have a trusted and experienced translator or interpreter for your business. In this episode of the ATA Podcast, we hear from Marita Propato, who has a career that spans decades working with clients ranging from large tech firms to the International Olympic Committee. From press releases to the classroom and from machine translation to gender-inclusive language, listen in to Marita's journey and experiences that have shaped her accomplished career, and take notes as she advises how to navigate translating corporate and internal communications.

When it comes to healthcare, not everyone considers the uniqueness of dentistry in terms of the training and expertise it requires from dentists and hygienists. This distinction manifests itself through the language used in the field, which requires careful research and attention to translate effectively. As well, dentistry tends to be on the forefront of medical advancements, meaning new treatments and terminology develop frequently. In this episode of Inside Specialization, Anne Conner speaks with Mario Muchacho, DDS, about how he pursued a career in dentistry but wasn't enthusiastic about all aspects of the practice. Eventually, Mario found that his true calling was to work as a translator within this field. Learn how Mario made the transition, what he's learned and experienced, what he would have done differently, and more on this episode of the ATA Podcast!

Medical translation is a large umbrella, and it’s important to not overlook the many specialized, unique fields that stem from it! One of them is the important type of medical translation that deals not with human patients, but with our beloved small and large animals: veterinary translation. In this episode of Inside Specialization, we hear from Veronica Leibaschoff, who started out as a veterinarian and then changed her career through her love of language and culture by becoming a scientific translator and medical interpreter. It wasn't long until her professional backgrounds mixed and she specialized in veterinary translation.

Without a mentor, how do you expect to change and grow as a professional? That's where ATA's Mastermind Program comes in! Translators and interpreters often go into business understanding that finding and retaining clients will be hard work.

In this episode of the ATA Podcast, co-host Andie Ho interviews Dolores R. Guiñazú, a two-time participant in the Mastermind Program.
